Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) offers full service in support of our faculty, staff and cadets.   We are borrowing both electronic materials and physical items, such as books.  

• Interlibrary loan items may be picked up from the marked self-service book truck adjacent to the service desk.
• Interlibrary loan items may be returned to the lobby of the library and placed on the book truck marked for return of library items which is in front of the service desk.
• If you have any questions, please send inquiries to illiad@vmi.edu.

Interlibrary loan (ILL) is a service offered by Preston Library that allows current VMI faculty, staff and cadets to borrow books, book chapters, articles, reports and other materials from other libraries when they are not available in Preston Library's collection.   ILL accounts have already been created for our users so you will only need to log in at https://illiad.vmi.edu to submit a borrowing request.

Preston Library absorbs any fees charged for providing ILL services so there is no cost to the user and there is no limit to the number of requests you may submit.
