ILL Web Lending Setup Instructions

Prospective Interlibrary Loan Borrower Libraries who are not participants in the OCLC ILL Subsystem should contact the Kelvin Smith Library Access Services Department by e-mail at smithill@case.edu to set up a borrowing account in our ILLiad system:

  • You will be able to submit your ILL requests online directly, without filling out an ALA-form and without having to send by mail or fax.
  • Please provide your library name, up to 3 additional *shipping address lines, your voice phone and fax contact numbers, your institutional e-mail address, and whether you are an academic, public, corporate, or other non-academic library.
  • Please also indicate any arbitrary alphanumeric code or symbol from 3 to 6 characters in length, to serve as your login **Username. If you are an †OCLC member, but do not utilize the ILL Subsystem, we suggest that you use your OCLC symbol for this purpose.
  • We will contact you shortly thereafter to notify you of your **Username and temporary Password, and the URL at which you may begin submitting your ILL requests.

*Whenever any service fees apply, we provide per-item invoices with the supplied material & thus do not require a separate billing address.

**Username may be modified at our discretion, if it duplicates one already in use by another library institution or contains unusable characters.  We will also assign a separate Username for each individual branch of the same library system wishing to set up an account (with its own shipping address); each location should then log in using its own unique Username and Password.

OCLC members may also search our policies at the OCLC Policies Directory. (Authorization and password required -- search "CWR")
