The\u00a0interlibrary loan system allows students the ability to expand their research past the limits of their local library. Over 10,000 libraries, across 56 countries are involved in ILL!<br \/>\nHere&#8217;s how it works: \u00a0A student is searching for a certain material, but the library doesn&#8217;t have it.\u00a0 Through interlibrary loan the ILL manager reaches out to other libraries and requests to borrow the materials the student needs.\u00a0 A requested library will then mail or scan that material to the library that needs it. \u00a0It&#8217;s that simple!<br \/>\nTo start using ILL you will access <a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.illiad.oclc.org\/illiad\/YAH\/logon.html\">https:\/\/alfred.illiad.oclc.org\/illiad\/YAH\/logon.html<\/a> on either the Herrick Library homepage<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2089\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/aulibrarynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2017\/10\/ill-herrick2.png\" alt=\"ill herrick2\" width=\"600\" height=\"374\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nor Scholes Library homepage.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2090\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/aulibrarynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2017\/10\/ill-scholes-2-e1507592250902.png\" alt=\"ill scholes 2\" width=\"711\" height=\"297\" \/><br \/>\nYou will use your Alfred University username and password to login. The first time you log in, you must complete the registration form. Please note that textbooks generally cannot be borrowed through the ILL. \u00a0The average time you can keep the material is around 3 weeks. However, you can renew the material through the ILLiad website.
