Nursing Doctoral Resource Guide

There are several ways to obtain material that Molloy does not have:

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) : When available, the requested material will be sent from another library - which usually takes 5-10 days. To go directly to ILLiad, use the following link: https://molloy.illiad.oclc.org/illiad/logon.html 

Research Loan Program (RLP)*: RLP allows the student to borrow books from participating local institutions. View a list of Long Island Libraries participating in the RLP program. Ask a librarian for details if you are considering this service.

AcademicSHARE*: Empire State AcademicSHARE (similar to RIP) allows the student to borrow books from participating institutions. View a list of Libraries participating in the AcademicSHARE program. Ask a librarian for details if you are considering this service.

*For both RLP and AcademicSHARE, a librarian should be consulted prior to determine if attaining the material from another institution is the only option. Valid I.D. card required for both.

Suffolk and Nassau County public libraries can be an option for those who have a public library card.

 A WorldCat zip code proximity search will show both public and academic institutions that have the  material and are the closest in distance to your location.

  Did you know that any person who lives, works, attends school or pays property taxes in New York State is eligible to receive a New York Public Library card free of charge? See if you qualify, or apply now.

The New York Online Virtual Electronic Library offers a wide array of access to newspapers, databases and reference resources. Most schools, colleges and universities already provide access to NOVELNY, however, any New York resident can also log in with their NY State Driver's license number.

Creating an ILLiad Account

Below are basic instructions for the one-time required setup of a patron account as well as an overview of the system itself.

From the library homepage, select the Interlibrary Loan link under Quick Links. To create an account, you need to click First Time Users, which is under the Login button.

New User Registration requires:

• First Name
• Last Name
• ID number
• email address
• daytime phone
• status
• address

Please note:

• The system will not accept personal email addresses - the email MUST end with either @lions.molloy.edu or @molloy.edu
• The 14 digit ID number is the number on the back of your Molloy ID (this is no longer a required field)
• Your Username can be anything you want! It is suggested that you make it the same as your Canvas username.
• You can choose to receive notifications via phone or email! Your preferences can be set during registration.

Once you have successfully completed your registration, your account will have to be cleared by a member of the Interlibrary Loan department.

• In order to be cleared, you must be a member of the Molloy community with a valid ID and have no other ILLiad accounts. You can make requests in the meantime, but they will not be processed until your account is cleared.
• Accounts are typically cleared within one business day and you will receive an email once it is.​
