Picking Up Books at Memorial Library

Have you requested a book to be picked up at Memorial Library?

Patrons can view the status of pick-up requests in their library card/account. Go to the Library tab in myRedDragon and scroll down to the lower right side of the page and click on “Your Library Account”. If you have ONESearch opened, you can also get there by clicking on your name in the upper right corner.

After you click your name, you can click on “my requests” to view both ILL and pick-up requests, as well as the status. When a pick-up request is pending, you will see that status in the account.

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) – Borrow from Other Libraries

You may have noticed that you can request Library material directly from the your search results in ONESearch in myRedDragon (mRD).

Please note that, in order to borrow from outside libraries, you still need to have an ILLiad account.

To set up up your own ILLiad account, click on “Interlibrary Loan” under Library Links and Resources on the left side of the Library Tab in myRedDragon. Sign in using your mRD ID & Password and follow the instructions given.

Once this is completed and approved, you will be able to successfully make & receive ILL requests.
