Did you know that PubMed now links directly to our IDS service?  Follow these 5 easy steps! 

• Search PubMed for the article you need & click on the title you want to request
• Click on the “Send to” link just above the end of the title
• Choose “Order”
• Click “Order articles” (Your browser will go straight to the MU ILL login screen)
• Login and the system will automatically fill out your request for you! 

Want to request something from one of our EbscoHOST databases?  Can do!  Simply watch for link to IDS/ILL “MU does not own – request from IDS”.  Click the link to be directed to our IDS webpage.  Login and let the system automatically fill out your request. 

Happen to find the article you want outside of our Databases?  No problem!  Here’s a few tips to help you make the most of our IDS service.

• Log into the MU IDS webpage, https://libids.marshall.edu/lending/lendinglogon.html​
  • In an effort to make signing into Interlibrary Loan (ILL) more secure and user-friendly, the Marshall University Library has changed over to single sign-on for Information Delivery Services. When accessing Interlibrary Loan, use the same MUNET login credentials used for all of MU’s online services such as myMU and MUOnLine. Please note: you will need to create a new account the first time you log into ILL. The system will prompt you. You will not automatically be able to see any requests that were submitted before Aug 1, 2016; but, your previous requests are not lost! If you would like to see your request history after the transition to the new sign-on service, please send an email to libserv@marshall.edu, and we will assist in restoring your history.
