First Time User Registration for Interlibrary Loan

To request an item through Interlibrary Loan, you must first create an account with the University of Chicago Interlibrary Loan department. To do this, email interlibraryloan@lib.uchicago.edu to set up your account.
Please include your institution's name, phone number, mailing address, and email address. International libraries should also supply contact name and any applicable EORI or VAT numbers..
Registration has three purposes:

• Registering with the ILLiad system means you will not have to supply the information again when making future requests.
• Having your e-mail and regular mail addresses on file with Interlibrary Loan enables us to notify you promptly and deliver materials accurately when your request arrives in the library.
• By specifying a Username and Password of your choosing, you will have secure access to information about your requests. You will also be able to review the list of items you have requested in the past.
