Interlibrary Loan - ILLiad

In order to make an ILL request all users must first register for an ILLiad account. ILLiad enables users to place ILL requests, track the status of their requests, and can provide available articles in PDF format through its Electronic Delivery option.
Delivery Times
- Electronically delivered articles (PDFs) are usually available within 2-3 business days.
- Requests for physical material can take from 7-14 days to receive.
- Mount Sinai Downtown / MSBI staff requesting physical material (such as a print book) must pick up and return physical interlibrary loan item(s) at the Levy Library, Annenberg building, 11th floor, located on the main Mount Sinai Hospital campus.
Request Policies and Limits
