First Time User Registration for Interlibrary Loan and Delivery Services

To request an item from VCU Libraries or another library, you must first create an ILLiad account. To do this, fill out a registration form using your Web browser.

Registration has two purposes:

  • Entering your personal information into the ILLiad system means you will not have to supply the information again when making future requests unless your contact information and status change.
  • Having your email and shipping addresses on file within the system enables us to notify you promptly and deliver materials accurately. Remember to keep your ILLiad record updated with address, shipping preferences and other pertinent information.

About your Username and Password

VCU students, faculty, and staff can create an ILLiad account using their eID credentials. For VCU affiliates who do not have a VCU eID username and password, you will be asked to choose/create a username and password. You will use this username and password when logging in to the ILLiad system in the future.

Username

- You may choose anything you like for a username, such as your name, abbreviations or an alphanumeric code.

Password

- Passwords must have at least eight characters with at least one lower-case letter, one upper-case letter and one number. ILLiad will encrypt your password, so it will remain secure. Only you will know your password.
