Document Delivery is a service offered through ILLiad to make library material more accessible using current technology. Material from our libraries can be requested and will be scanned and sent electronically or placed on hold for patrons to pickup.

How Does It Work?

1) Make a request in ILLiad.

2) Receive your material! If a book chapter or article is requested, we will scan the article and deliver a scan electronically. If a loan (book, dvd, cd, etc.) is requested, we will place the item on hold for you at either the BioSci or Rasmuson Library. Distance patrons can use Document Delivery to have loans sent to them.

Who Can Use Doc Del?

All patrons eligibile for Interlibrary Loan: All UAF Faculty, Staff, and Students. Patrons need an ILLiad login to make requests. We do not limit the number of requests that can be made.

Turn Around

Document Delivery offers fast turn around time. We are usually able to deliver documents within 2 to 3 days. Requests are done as quickly as possible in the order that we receive them.

Accessing Documents

Electronic documents are viewable by logging into your ILLiad account and clicking on "View/Download Electronically Received Articles". The computer you are using must have Adobe Acrobat Reader (or a compatible program) installed. The latest version of Acrobat Reader is available for free at the Adobe website.
