So that we can notify you or send copies promptly, include your campus or local phone number, email address and campus address when you register for ILLiad. We notify you by telephone or email when items are ready for pick up, and you pick up items at your ILL office or at the circulation desk at the Engineering and Science Library. We usually send requested photocopies by campus mail, or you can ask to be notified and pick them up. If you have selected Electronic Delivery in ILLiad, you will be emailed when your item is available. You can access the PDF file of your article using ILLiad.
Most interlibrary loans are free to users.
We will always contact you first for your approval in these instances. Of course, you are responsible to pay any costs incurred if you keep interlibrary loans overdue, or if you damage or lose items. Any currently-affiliated member of the Carnegie Mellon community can request ILL service. Carnegie Mellon alumni or special patrons can not use ILL services. You can get copies of articles from journals, newspapers, and other publications that we don't own.
