If you are registered distance student, or ISU does not have the material you can ask for an ILL of the item.

In Serials Solutions click "ILLiad (Interlibrary Loan)" [highlight ILL, click through]

Log in using the username and password you created whe you signed up for the service. [show mine for example]

Clicking the "ILLiad" link in Serials Solutions automatically fills in the required fields. You will want to double check the fields just in case. [scroll through click submit]

For distance education students you should have already given your home address when creating your ILL account. Books and other physical material will be delivered to you there.

It takes around 2 weeks for delivery of ILL items. Most articles take less than that as they are delivered digitally. You will recieve an email that describes how to access the material when it arrives.

If you have questions during the process please contact the Reference desk or ILL. [List of contact methods and hours.]
