ILLiad Electronic Delivery Information
|
ILLiad offers the
convenient option of having articles delivered to you via Electronic Delivery
without ever going to the library or waiting for mail delivery. Expect electronic articles to be available on your
virtual desktop a few days sooner than a paper photocopy would arrive on your real
desktop. Electronic delivery is available for items that are delivered to us
electronically from the lending library.
| How do I sign up for
electronic delivery? |
Logon to ILLiad. From the main menu, click the button labeled "Change
Personal Info." For the choice "Preferred Electronic Delivery if Possible (via web
through ILLiad?)," choose "Yes" to have your electronic articles posted to your ILLiad
account.
| How do I know if my
computer can receive electronic articles? |
You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader installed and configured to work with your Web
browser in order to view, download, and print these articles. If you can read the sample page,
then your computer has the necessary software installed to work with your Web browser.
However, if your computer tells you the file type is unknown and asks if you want to save
the file to disk, then you need to install the Adobe Acrobat Reader software.
| How do I get Adobe
Acrobat Reader? |
Acrobat Reader is available without charge from Adobe
Systems, Inc. Click the "Get Acrobat Reader" button to go directly
to the download page.
| How do I get my articles
when they arrive? |
Logon to ILLiad. On the main menu, choose "Electronic Delivery." This will give you a list of all items that you have waiting to view or
download.
| How do I know which
requests will be electronically delivered and which ones will not? |
ILLiad sends you an e-mail notification for each item received. That e-mail
will include information about the delivery method.
| What if I
do not want
electronic delivery? |
Electronic Document Delivery (eDD) is the ILLiad default. However, paper delivery
will be provided only if you choose it as an option on your Personal Information
Form in ILLiad.
| What if I have questions
about electronic delivery? |
You can e-mail questions to smlill@yale.edu
or call us at 555-1212.
