  • books, booklets, pamphlets, and reports
  • articles
  • conference papers
  • dissertations/theses
  • newspapers on microfilm
  • videos, DVDs, sound recordings, musical scores and other miscellaneous materials

We will also try to borrow the following materials that are owned by K-State Libraries:

Interlibrary Services will not request the following materials owned by K-State Libraries:

  • items that are on Reserve
  • textbooks required for classes

There is no charge for most items obtained via Interlibrary Services. (Should there ever be a charge, we contact patrons about the potential charge before ordering the item.)

There is generally a waiting period of:

  • 2 to 5 days for electronically received copies
  • 3 to 10 days for books, videos, and other materials that are mailed to us

Please contact Interlibrary Services when you:

  • want to inquire about the status of your request
  • have been asked to provide additional information about a request
  • have a problem with your registration or password for ILLiad
Check out and return loans at the Circulation Unit on 2nd floor of Hale Library.

ILLIAD

Submit interlibrary loan requests via ILLiad. This system will allow you to not only submit requests, but also to edit them, ask for renewals on loans, and download articles which we receive from other libraries as PDF files.

The first time you use ILLiad, click on "First Time ILLiad users click here to register." Once registered, no personal information needs to be typed on individual request forms. For more information about features of ILLiad, see the https://ksu.illiad.oclc.org/illiad/FAQ.htmlFAQ. To login or register go to the ILLiad login page.

When submitting article requests with ILLiad, please submit a separate request for each article.

ILS does not accept requests over the phone.

DOCUMENT DELIVERY SERVICE --for materials owned by K-State Libraries

Interlibrary Services (ILS) provides a courtesy Document Delivery Service for:
  • Faculty
  • University Staff
  • Graduate and Undergraduate Students
  • Distance Patrons

We will scan:

  • Articles and chapters from journals and books in K-State Libraries up to 50 pages in length
  • Articles and short documents from microfiche/microfilm up to 30 pages in length

Please allow 1-4 days (excluding weekends) for processing of requests. This service should not be used for information that is needed immediately. Requests submitted Tuesday - Thursday will be processed faster than those submitted Friday - Sunday as ILS is currently not staffed over the weekends.

When staffing is limited due to Christmas Intersession, Spring Break, resignations and/or illness, this courtesy service may be temporarily suspended. If this occurs, patrons will be contacted by e-mail and asked to refrain from submitting requests until ILS is able to resume the service.

Requests should be submitted via ILLiad. ILS will scan and post PDF files for retrieval from your ILLiad account upon e-mail notification.

The Interlibrary Services office is located on the first floor of Hale Library. From the main entrance of the Library on second floor, take the central stairway in front of the Reception Desk down to the first floor. Turn left and Interlibrary Services will be down the walkway on your right.
