Adding a Request for a Patron

Sometimes, a patron will call or email with a request for an item. Typically, we insist patrons submit requests through ILLiad, but sometimes we make exceptions to this rule. Use your discretion to determine when to input a request for a patron.

  1. In ILLiad, search for the patron in the search users box in the main ribbon using either their name or user name.

  2. Double click to open the correct user profile.
  3. Click the borrowing button to create a new borrowing request.

  4. Fill out the borrowing form, making sure to fill out all the information you need.
  5. Save the request and close the window.  The request will now appear in the “Awaiting Request Processing” queue.
