First Time User Registration for Interlibrary Loan

To request an item through Interlibrary Loan, you must first register for an interlibrary loan (ILL) account.
Registration has four purposes:

  • Entering your personal information into the ILL system means you will not have to supply the information again when making future requests.
  • Having your CSI e-mail and regular mail addresses on file with Interlibrary Loan enables us to notify you promptly and deliver materials accurately when your request arrives in the library.
  • By specifying a Username and Password of your choosing, you will have secure access to information about your requests.
  • You will also be able to review the list of items you have requested in the past.

    • Requirements for Interlibrary loan Registration

  • College of Staten Island ID Card and Library Barcode
  • Updated Library Circulation account. Check at the Circulation desk if you are not sure your account is active. Their telephone number is (718) 982-4011
  • Email address: a College of Staten Island email address is required.

    • About your Username and Password

    During registration, you will be asked to choose a Username and Password. You will use this Username and Password when logging on to the ILL system in the future.

    Username
    Choose anything you like, such as your name, abbreviations, or an alphanumeric code.
    Password
    Choose anything you like. We recommend that you follow good security practice and choose a password that is different from those you use to access other systems.
    ILLiad will encrypt your password, so it will remain secure. Only you will know your password.
