New interlibrary loan system |
Wartburg's interlibrary loan system is migrating to a new software platform called Tipasa on July 22. The process of making interlibrary loan (ILL) requests for books and articles will be greatly streamlined by this change – you simply log in with your Wartburg username and password. All currently active requests will migrate over to the new platform, but electronically delivered articles and past request history cannot be migrated. You will be able to access your ILLiad account for 30 days after the migration is complete under the Library Links section of Tipasa’s user portal, but all new requests will need to be submitted through the new system after July 22. You can also use this portal to customize your communication preferences for ILL – including notifications via text message. If you have any questions, contact Elisa Klope, interlibrary loan supervisor at Vogel Library (319-352-8258), or email illiad@wartburg.edu. |
