First Time User Registration for Interlibrary Loan

ILLiad Service

The Kresge Library provides Interlibrary Loan service to current employees, faculty, staff, and students of The Scripps Research Institute, Scripps Florida, Scripps Clinic, and Green Hospital. In addition, document delivery service is available to staff who are not located at the Torrey Pines campus.

Article requests are usually received in three to five working days. Books not owned by UCSD take longer to arrive (via U.S. Mail). If you need an item by a particular date, please contact a library staff member to make sure that we can meet your deadline. RUSH service may be available for a fee.

To request an item through Interlibrary Loan, you must first register with the Library's ILLiad system. Benefits of registration include:

  • Having your e-mail and inter-office mail addresses on file with ILLiad enables us to notify you promptly and deliver materials accurately.
  • Specifying an ILLiad Username and Password of your choosing allows secure access to information about your requests. You will also be able to review the list of items you have requested through ILLiad in the past.
Username
