2. SERVICES
A Interlibrary Loan Services
   The Interlibrary Loan Department witnessed a few changes over the summer. We have a new Interlibrary Loan and Material Delivery Librarian, Susan Buzzell (207-581-1674 or susan.buzzell@umit.maine.edu) and a new look for the ILLiad web interface. Changes to the web interface will allow us to communicate more effectively with ILLiad users and to target messages for faculty about available services such as document delivery.
If it has been a while since you last used ILLiad, you may have forgotten your password. You can now reset your password yourself using the Forget Password? function on the main ILLiad page <illiad.library.umaine.edu/illiad/meu/logon.html>. If both your username and password have been lost in the barrage of usernames and passwords, please contact our office (207-581-1671 or illborrowing@umit.maine.edu) and we can reset your password for you and remind you of your username.
   If you are new to ILLiad, you can view the terms of use and create a new account at <illiad.library.umaine.edu/illiad/meu/FirstTime.html>.   For more information about ILLiad, scanning and journal article retrieval services available to UMaine faculty, please see the Interlibrary Loan pages of the Fogler Library web site <www.library.umaine.edu/ill/>.
