ILLiad
If you cannot access an article through the York Library, or obtain a book through the CUNY Library system, you can use ILLiad, the Library's new online Interlibrary Loan system, to place your request. Remember, if the book is owned by a CUNY library, you should still place your request through CLICS. Use ILLiad to request copies of articles you cannot access through York's full-text databases, e-journal portal, print journals, or microfilm collection, as well as books that are not owned in CUNY, or if all CUNY copies are checked out, on reserve, or otherwise unavailable.
ILLiad has a number of features that should enhance your Interlibrary Loan experience:
1) You can check the status of your requests online through ILLiad at any time without having to contact the ILL department.
2) If material is sent to us electronically, we will deliver it to your ILLiad account as a PDF file.
3) You have the ability to request a renewal of Interlibrary Loan materials remotely through ILLiad.
To set up your account, click on the "First Time Users" link on York's ILLiad page: http://york.cuny.illiad.oclc.org/illiad/logon.html.
