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. 

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.

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.

Acrobat Reader is available without charge from Adobe Systems, Inc. Click the "Get Acrobat Reader" button to go directly to the download page.

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.

ILLiad sends you an e-mail notification for each item received. That e-mail will include information about the delivery method.

Paper delivery is the ILLiad default. Electronic delivery will be provided only if you choose it as an option on your Personal Information Form in ILLiad. 

You can e-mail questions to ill@law.fordham.edu or call us at (212) 636-6909.
