Why do I need a username and password to use ILLiad?
Your username and password provides you with secure access to information about your interlibrary loan requests and enables you to edit any of your personal information as needed.
Your username and password can be anything you like but we recommend that you follow good security practice and choose a password that is different from those you use to access other systems. However, you can choose the username and password you use to log in to campus computers or the UCCS portal.
Please note, no one but you will know your ILLiad password, not even the library staff.
The password you use is stored in an encrypted file.
What if I forget my password?
In the event that you forget your password, you can re-set your password at the ILLiad logon page or contact the Interlibrary Loan Office at (719) 255-3285, interlib@uccs.edu and ask to have your password re-set allowing you access to ILLiad. If someone in the ILL department changes your password, please change it immediately after you logon to ILLiad.
How much does ILL cost?
ILL services are provided at no charge, except in cases where copyright fees exceed $30.00. In these cases you will be notified beforehand and given the option of proceeding with the charges. Information regarding fines and fees for lost or overdue items is provided below.
What happens if I return an ILL late or lose or damage an item?
The overdue fine is $3.00 for the first day plus $.50 for each additional day that the item is overdue. Students will be notified of exact overdue charges before they are added to the tuition and fees portion of the student account.
Replacement costs for lost and damaged materials are determined by the lending library. Students will be notified of exact replacement charges before they are added to the tuition and fees portion of the student account.
Why did I get a notice that a book/loan is due book but I never picked it up?
ILLiad loans are checked out to ILLiad accounts as soon as they are delivered to the ILL department. Although you may not have picked the book up it will remain on the library hold shelf until the due date established by the lending library. Loans not picked up are returned to the lending library the day after the due date and overdue fines are never charged for any item not picked up.
