Rollins InterLibrary Loan Electronic Delivery Information

Rollins InterLibrary Loan offers the convenient option of having articles delivered to you without ever going to the library or waiting for mail delivery.
Electronic delivery is available for items that are delivered to us electronically from the lending library.

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?

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

How do I get my articles when they arrive?

  1. Logon to Rollins InterLibrary Loan
  2. From the main menu, click the "Electronically Received Articles" link under the View Requests options.
  3. A list will be displayed containing all of the items that you have waiting to be viewed or downloaded.
  4. Note that articles will be available for 30 days after the delivery e-mail notification.

How do I know which requests will be electronically delivered and which ones will not?

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

What if I have questions about electronic delivery?
