Interlibrary Loan Glitch

A glitch has recently been reported to us regarding our Interlibrary Loan software. Notification emails are not getting sent to some people when article requests have been received by the McIntyre Library.

If you have sent article requests, please log into your ILLiad account here https://wisconsin.hosts.atlas-sys.com/illiad/GZE/logon.html , and select ‘View/Download Electronically Received Articles’. The majority of requests are filled within 48 hours, so if you have not received an email yet, there is a good chance the article has been delivered.

If you have not sent article requests in the past 30 days, please disregard this message.

This problem should be fixed soon, and please continuing using our Interlibrary Loan service.
