Orientation to the Library: Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

Interlibrary Loan Process - Clio

The TUN Library uses Clio for Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service. To request ILLs through Clio, you will be prompted to login to OpenAthens, as you do with any online library resource from off campus. In Clio you will have your own interlibrary loan dashboard where you can submit requests, download PDFs, and see your history of requests. No more searching through emails to find your interlibrary loan articles!

See instructions below on how to get started.

A. Logging in the First Time

1. Go to Patron Login Site for Interlibrary Loan at https://touronv.cliohosting.com/. At this site, you can access your personal interlibrary loan dashboard. We recommend bookmarking it for ease of access.
2. Login with your usual method for accessing online Library resources. (See below)
3. Finish registering your interlibrary loan account by filling in the following information: First Name, Last Name, Email Address, Status, and Department.
4. You will now be able to request articles, books and book chapters by going to the Request drop down and selecting the correct form.
