Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery (IDD) utilizes university authentication requiring that you use your USC Net ID and your USC email password to access the system. The following is a basic guide to logging into and accessing IDD online services.
I am a new user. How do I log into IDD?
You will need to use your USC Net ID and your USC email password on our login page to access the system.
Example:
If your USC e-mail is tommytrojan@usc.edu then your Net ID is also tommytrojan@usc.edu. Your password is the same one you use to access e-mail.
If you are new to the IDD system and you log in with your Net ID and password, you will be prompted to fill out a mandatory information form. IDD staff will need to review your credentials and information to determine your eligibility for services.
For more information about your Net ID and other USC computing accounts, please visit USC's Information Technology Services.
My password does not work when I try to log in. What do I do?
If you have forgotten your Net ID password, you will need to contact USC ITS Support or visit USC's MyPassword page to change your password. Please note that this password change will affect other services such as MyUSC and your e-mail. Also note that although the page states that it takes up to 15 minutes for the change to take effect, it could actually take up to an hour for the change to completely take affect across library systems.
I am a USC Law student, staff, or faculty. Will I have access to IDD services?
Gould School of Law students, staff and faculty must use Asa V. Call Law Library Interlibrary Loan.
I am a Visiting Scholar / Alumni / Retired USC employee. Will I have access to Interlibrary Loan & Document Delivery?
Unfortunately, no. Please see USC Libraries Access & Borrowing Policies for an overview of all borrowing privileges and inter-library loan eligibility.
I am a faculty member. How can I request an ILL Proxy Account for my research or teaching assistant(s)?
We are unable to set up proxy accounts for inter-library loan and cannot transfer loans to other user accounts. So if you are a user who is requesting something on behalf of another user, the original requestor is ultimately responsible for the condition and timely return of physical materials obtained through inter-library loan.
Lastly, the libraries' services require an unique USC Net ID to access, therefore proxy accounts for inter-library loan are technically not possible.
