Requesting materials by mail
Requesting a Book Owned by UD/Charles C. Myers Library via Mail
Search the UD library catalog for a book you'd like. You can do this from the Library Homepage, under 'Find Books and Media.'
When you find a copy of the book, check to see if it is owned by UD/Charles C. Myers Library. If we own the item, the record will say 'Charles C. Myers Library' and provide the location information for that item. For many of our items we own both the book and movie, make sure you don't accidently request the movie or audiobook version by mistake!
If we own the item, click on the item's title. This will open the item's record that contains more information about the item. If this is the item you are looking for, click 'Place Hold' on the right hand side of the screen.
After clicking 'Place Hold,' it will have you sign-in to your UD library account to complete the request. You'll sign-in with your UD ID number (not your UD username). Note: Your UD Library account is not the same as your regular UD account. If you haven't set up a password for your library account, click here to view the directions
Once you've signed in, it will ask you for some more details for processing your book request. Under 'Pick Up Options,' choose: UD Mail (Distance Education) to indicate that you would like to receive this item via the mail. And then click on Submit to complete your request.
After you click 'Submit,' you'll see this page to indicate that your request has been sent to the Charles C. Myers Library for processing and mailing. If you'd like to review your requests, you can click the 'View Requests' button.
You can view your requests by signing into your UD Library Account and selecting 'Requests' under 'My Account' on the right-hand-side (under: Hello Your Name).
Requesting a Book NOT Owned by UD/Charles C. Myers Library via Mail
Search the UD library catalog for a book you'd like. You can do this from the Library Homepage, under 'Find Books and Media.'

The item's record page will contain more information about the item. If this is the item you'd like to request, click 'Request Item through Interlibrary Loan/E-Delivery.'
Once you've selected to request this item through Interlibrary Loan/E-Delivery, you will be prompted to sign into the Interlibrary Portal, ILLiad. Sign-in using your UD username and password.
After you've signed into the Interlibrary Loan portal, your request will auto-populate all the information regarding the book you'd like to request.

Myers Library for processing.
