Hello. Not everyone who uses UMD Libraries can borrow items through Interlibrary Loan.
The following groups DO have borrowing privileges:
- Current UMCP students, faculty, and staff members
- Retired faculty/staff (who have activated their retiree status)
- Research Affiliates (AFL1)
When logging into your ILL Services Account, you should be prompted to sign into the University's Central Authentication Service (CAS) using your directory ID and password:
If you do not see the CAS screen when logging-in, please clear the internet browser's cache, history and cookies, then try to log-in again. This screen should now appear, and after selecting the first option, you should be able to enter your directory ID and password, then place your ILL request.
If you happen to see a message similar to this:
It is likely that your browser is not up to date. We recommend updating your browser, or switching to an alternate browser that is more current.
If you're attempting to access your account from a federal facility or U.S. Government network, you will not be able to gain access. Please wait and try to place your request later on another network.
If you are blocked and see the following screen--
--your ILL borrowing privileges have been temporarily blocked. This may occur if you have an ILL item that is more than three weeks overdue or if you do not have a current email address on file. In this case, please contact the Interlibrary Loan Office for more information on how to restore your access.
Thank you for using AskUs!
