You submit an interlibrary loan request through ILLiad system to borrow materials from other libraries that are not available in the Hagerty Library either in print or electronic form. This can be done by going to Place ILLiad Interlibrary Loan Requests Online
Interlibrary Loan services are also available to Drexel University distance learning students. For more information, please refer to:

Once articles are available, you can see them under ‘Your Articles’ in the ‘View’ section for 30 days from the date of posting.
In IIliad, several new features have been added and its appearance also has changed. A search box at the top of the initial screen now allows you to search by keyword for any past request, regardless of whether it is a current, canceled, or completed request. Another nice option is the ability to undelete “electronically received articles” that you might have unintentionally deleted. You will notice several other changes. We hope you find them useful. Another neat feature is the ability to subscribe to Alerts Feed by copying and pasting RSS URL into your feedreader, in Bloglines or in Google Reader. See About Feeds for more information.
