Document Delivery

The Document Delivery service delivers library-owned materials to Michigan Tech faculty, staff, graduate students, and disabled students through the ILLiad system. Eligible materials include book chapters, current journal articles, conference papers, certain maps, DVD/CD/VHS, and any materials with a loan period of at least 5 weeks. Print resources which can be digitally scanned are deposited to patrons' ILLiad account. All other materials will be sent to patrons' location by inter-campus mail or U.S. mail.

To request or download resources, please login to ILLiad with your valid ISO password.
