As a resource-sharing management software that models the interlibrary loan process, ILLiad saves you time by managing the library's borrowing, lending, and document delivery through a single interface.
ILLiad is an acronym for InterLibrary Loan Internet Accessible Database.
Developed in the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Department at Virginia Tech, it is the only ILL product created from an ILL staff review of the entire ILL operation. The result is a product that encompasses every action in the ILL process, producing a highly efficient and effective work environment. This environment enhances customer service while significantly reducing costs and staff workload.
ILLiad was developed by Atlas Systems and is now distributed exclusively through OCLC.

You might find ILLiad easier to use than traditional paper and other interlibrary loan systems to submit and receive requests.
Dupré Library ILL staff can serve you better because all information about your request and its handling is stored in a searchable database so we can respond quickly to your inquiries. We can also gather statistical data about the performance of the libraries that lend to us, enabling us to make better decisions when choosing a lender to supply an item.
Your username and password allow us to give you secure access to information about your current and past interlibrary loan requests. You can also edit your information, such as your address or phone number.
Your username and password can be anything you like. We recommend that you follow good security practices and choose a strong password different from those you use to access other systems. ILLiad stores passwords in an encrypted file. No one but you will know your password, not even the Dupré Library staff.
First time users need to register for an ILLiad account. Your ULID and password will not work.
First Time User?If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it using Forgot Password? or by contacting the Interlibrary Loan Department at (337) 482-6036.
Dupré Library ILL staff will not be able to tell you your previous password, but they can assist with resetting your password so you can access ILLiad.
If given a temporary password, use Change Password under the User menu to change it after you log in to ILLiad.
Forgot Password?From time to time, we purge older records from ILLiad. The policy is to keep requests online for several years to comply with the record-keeping requirements of the copyright law.
