April 18 ILLIAD Outage
The ILLiad Interlibrary Loan service will be unavailable on Thursday, April 18, from approximately 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. due to planned maintenance. We apologize for the inconvenience.
We offer interlibrary loan services to university students, faculty, and staff to obtain materials that are not available in our collections.
Requesting Books: PALCI
- Check our Online Catalog to determine whether IUP owns the book or item locally, and whether it is available.
- If the book or item you want is not owned by IUP, or is currently checked out, use PALCI E-ZBorrow to submit a request for the item. Most requests submitted through PALCI are received within one week. Please note: electronic books cannot be borrowed via Interlibrary Loan.
Requesting Articles: ILLIAD
- Check the E-Journal Portal and the Online Catalog to determine whether the article can be found in IUP's collections, either as a print article or in electronic form.
- If the article is not available in IUP's collections, use ILLIAD to submit a request for the article.
Important Information
- Interlibrary loan services are only available to IUP students, faculty, and staff.
