Widener Commonwealth Law Review

For source collection purposes, if our library does not have them, either in print or electronically, all ILL requests MUST be sourced through the internal managing editors for each article. The internal editor will compile a list of resources that need to be borrowed and submit that list to librarian Brent Johnson. When an ILL resource arrives in the library, it will be kept with the Closed Reserve items in the back technical processing room. Law review members may ask a librarian to retrieve this material when cite checking is required. The ILL materials MUST remain in the law library, and be returned to the Closed Reserve area when not in use.

For law review members doing research on their own article who need to use ILL for a resource, contact Brent Johnson to set up an ILL account and receive training on placing a request.

If none of the Widener libraries owns the book or article you need, you may request it through InterLibrary Loan.  ILLiad is the InterLibrary Loan service used by Widener.  This service is available only to currently enrolled Widener students, faculty and staff.  Alumni and visitors do not have InterLibrary Loan borrowing privileges.  Please note that you must first register for ILLiad before you can request materials through InterLibrary Loan.  To register, click on the InterLibrary Loan link listed under the "Library Services" section on the Library's homepage at:  Widener Law Commonwealth Library. 

Next select the campus on which you are located, and click on "First Time Users."  Once you have registered, fill in as much of the request form as possible.  The more information you provide, the better.  If you are a registered user of ILLiad, simply enter your username and password to continue. 

Most photocopies will be delivered electronically.  You will be notified via your Widener email account with a link to your article, which will be in pdf format.

All InterLibrary Loans, except copied articles, must be returned to the Information Desk by the due date.
