The Knox College Library offers two ways to borrow materials from other libraries,
I-Share and ILLiad. To choose the best method of delivery, please read about the choices below.
Search the Knox Library Catalog first before requesting materials.
Use I-Share: the fastest method to borrow books from other libraries is the I-Share system. Materials arrive, on average, in 3 days.
If a book is not available in the I-Share catalog, place a request through ILLiad.
Volumes from a multi-volume set are best requested from ILLiad.
Look up the journal title in the E-journals database first. This search will tell you if the full text is available online.
Use ILLiad: articles from journals and newspapers to which Knox does not have a subscription, must be ordered through ILLiad. Materials arrive, on average, in 5-7 days.
Search the Knox Library Catalog first before requesting materials.
Use ILLiad: items such as DVDs, videotapes, audio and microfilm should be requested through ILLiad.
