Collections Strategies

"Request This Item!"

• Library staff will process item requests using ILLiad (Davidson's interlibrary loan request platform)
• Use the "Request this item (ILL)" link in the library catalog to complete the request form - it is identical to the ILL request form. Note: You must first sign into the ILLiad system using your network identity (email) and password. Please see the Interlibrary Loan Guide for instructions. 
• You will receive an email when your item is ready for pickup at the front desk.

Please contact Joe Gutekanst (ill@davidson.edu) with other questions relating to "Request This Item."
