ILLiad stands for InterLibrary Loan Internet Accessible Database. ILLiad is the system used by InterLibrary Loan (ILL) to obtain materials from other libraries and/or ship items from the Jerry Falwell Library to you.
The ILLiad login is available on InterLibrary Loan.
You can also navigate to ILLiad from our homepage here liberty.edu/library you will then select the Services menu on the top right of the page. In that menu you will find the link to InterLibrary Loan.
The JFL has created a short video tutorial about ILLiad.
The first time an online student uses ILLiad, they will be asked to add their shipping address.
Items that can be requested using ILLiad:
- Articles not available online through the JFL website: Articles will be scanned and sent you via PDF. Fulfillment for PDF scans will typically take from 1 to 2 business days to be completed depending on the quickness of loaning library.
- Items not available in the JFL (for residential students): These items will be obtained from another library. They must be picked up at the main desk of the library and cannot be shipped.
- Books available in the JFL (for online students): These books will be shipped to you. As long as the book is currently available, shipping will typically take 2-3 business days. Shipping costs to send the book/resource are covered by the JFL, but the online student will be responsible for return shipping. Books that are checked out will be shipped once they are returned to the library. See more shipping information on InterLibrary Loan.
Items that cannot be requested through ILLiad include:
- Textbooks
- Items inconsistent with the Liberty Way (e.g., explicit content, etc.), unless you provide course-related justification from a professor.
