What is Interlibrary Loan? The Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Department provides Bucknell students, faculty and staff with materials not owned by the Bertrand Library, but needed for research. Requests to borrow books or obtain copies of periodical articles are made from other, cooperating libraries or commercial document delivery suppliers.
What is ILLIAD? ILLiad is the name of the software that we use to process and track ILL requests. Use ILLiad to place all Interlibrary Loan requests. ILLiad first-time users must register before submitting a request. In order for us to obtain material in a time frame that is useful to you, it is important to indicate the "need no later than" date on the form. Also, please provide all available information about the material, including where the citation was found. Because materials requested via ILL may take up to two weeks to obtain, the readily available resources of the Bertrand Library should be investigated first. A reference librarian is always available for consultation research needs. Many items can be obtained RUSH, some within 24 hours. Please contact Candice Hinckley at 570-577-3249.
What is E-ZBorrow? It is a way to quickly find and borrow books from many academic library catalogs in Pennsylvania. Bucknell students, faculty, and staff can check E-ZBorrow to request a book not owned by the Bertrand Library. Because E-ZBorrow is a direct method to obtain books and is not mediated by staff, it is generally faster than going through traditional interlibrary loan. E-ZBorrow used to be known as PALCI (Pennsylvania Academic Libraries Connection Initiative) and can be used only for books.
