Your ILLiad Account
Submit all journal requests and non-CLIC book requests through ILLiad, our interlibrary loan management system. ILLiad enables you to easily track your ILL requests. You must set up an individual account before submitting your first ILLiad request.
- Your CLICnet Account
Using CLICnet is the FASTEST way to get books owned by other UST or CLIC libraries. This account is created automatically for all registered students, and for faculty and staff. From this account, you can place "holds" on books from area CLIC libraries using the CLICnet "Request Item" feature. Besides being able to track the status of your "hold" requests, you can also see what UST/CLIC books you have checked out. Be sure to search CLICnet first to see if the book you want is available in CLIC, before requesting it in ILLiad.

Making an ILL Request
Specify a pickup library: OSF, Ireland, or Keffer. OSF is the default.
ILL Charges
There is no charge for most requests, but there may be a $5 charge per request for items that are subject to high copyright fees. We will contact you if this fee applies to your request.
Please use interlibrary loan responsibly. A cost study done in 2004 shows that the cost of one complete ILL transaction averages $17. UST currently subsidizes this cost.
