Copyright & Desktop Delivery
The Library has established guidelines for Desktop Delivery based on the copyright law of the United States and practices in other academic libraries. The Library will not scan:
- More than one chapter from a book
- More than one article from a journal issue at your home campus library
- Articles or book chapters that are longer than 60 pages or that constitute too much of a percentage of a total work
Excessive requests and those that appear to violate copyright law will be canceled at the discretion of library staff. Required readings for courses, materials held in Course Reserves and items available in the Library’s online collections will not be delivered through this service. The article or chapter delivered to you via this service is for personal use. You may not copy or distribute it to others.
Desktop Delivery Frequently Asked Questions

I’m faculty. How do I get an ILLIAD Proxy Account for my GRA?
Faculty may contact the ILL office to request a proxy account – a separate ILLiad account for others to place and retrieve requests on your behalf. Once your proxy account has been established, you will receive an email with the account’s username and password for you to distribute at your discretion. You will be responsible for the materials borrowed through this account.
How soon will I get my articles?
Articles are usually delivered in three business days. However, submissions of more than five simultaneous requests may take longer.
How do I access my article?
You will receive a notification to your email account that your requested article has been delivered. Log in to ILLiad to retrieve your article. It will remain in the system for 30 days.
