Interlibrary Loan is a service that gives current Evergreen students, faculty, and staff the ability to obtain materials that are NOT available in the TESC library collection or through Cascade libraries. Books, copies of periodical articles, and other items needed for research may be borrowed from other libraries. Alumni and community borrowers are not eligible for this service, and should request materials through their public library.

ILLiad is a new, paperless ILL system that includes the ability to submit online item requests, view/track outstanding requests, user histories and renewal requests, and view, print or download electronically delivered articles.

From the TESC Library home page, click on Login to your ILLiad Account, click on First time users, and then follow the instructions on the ILLiad registration form. During registration, you will be asked choose a Username and Password. When creating your username and password, remember that they are both case-sensitive and can't contain spaces. Enter them the same way each time you log into your ILLiad account.

Please input all required user information completely and please do not abbreviate any information.

Once you register, you won’t need to do it again. But please update your e-mail address, phone number and home address when you change or move ASAP.

• Please check both the TESC library and the CASCADE library catalog before submitting a request to ILL.
• Logon to your ILLiad account and follow the instructions. ILLiad is a user-friendly system, but if you have any questions, please contact Miko Francis at 867-6499 or email francism@evergreen.edu, 8:00-4:30 Monday-Friday.

Please remember the following types of materials may be difficult to obtain through ILL.

• Reference collections (dictionaries, encyclopedias, etc.)
• Books not yet in print, in press, or published in the last 6 months.
• Pamphlets and other ephemeral materials
• Films/Videos and Audio recordings/CD-ROMS
• Genealogical materials

We don’t pass on any fees or costs to our users. However a study done by The Association of Research Libraries showed that the average cost per ILL request (materials, postage, on-line time, labor, etc.) could often cost in excess of $20.00 per request. We want to be able to keep providing this service for free, so select the materials you request carefully. You may request up to 75 items per Quarter. The Washington State Institute of Public Policy staff or any other Research Institute's staff may request more than 75 items, but the Institute will be billed to cover the expense.

The time it takes to receive requested materials generally depends on the lending library. Please use this as a guideline when you are planning your research. If the material is needed by a specific deadline, please indicate this on the request form. ILL staff will try to meet your deadline.

Average transit times:

• Books and other loans: 10 – 15 working days
• Photocopies: 3 – 10 working days

We will notify you by e-mail or phone (as specified on your ILL request form) when material has arrived. Please pick up loans at the TESC Circulation Desk.

Regular library hours: (normal hours when school is in session)

If you wish to receive your articles electronically, please do the following:

When you register for ILLiad, choose "yes" for Electronic Delivery

We will notify you by e-mail as soon as it is available for you to view or download through your ILLiad account. These documents are retained on the ILLiad server for 30 days then will be deleted by the system.

Borrowers are responsible for the timely return of all loaned materials to the TESC Library Circulation Desk. If loaned items are not returned on time, you will receive three overdue notices. When an item is not returned within 15 days, you will be blocked from making additional ILL requests as well as from checking out TESC library materials.

Renewals of checked out materials can be requested once through your ILLiad account. Use the "View and Renew Checked-Out Items" button on the main menu. It renews your loan for 14 days while the ILL office requests a new due date from the lending library. If the lender does not grant our renewal request, we will contact you, and then you must immediately return the item.

You will be billed for lost and damaged ILL materials, at the same amount as we are billed by the lending library. Failure to pay for loss or damage will result in blocking your Library and ILLiad accounts until you clear your library record. Please contact the ILL Office to reactivate your ILLiad account..

The Interlibrary Loan office is located in the Library 3319.
