Illinois Library Delivery Service (ILDS)

The Illinois Library Delivery System is managed by the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois (CARLI).

The Illinois Library Delivery Service is a courier service that transports library materials between participating Illinois academic and research libraries to support interlibrary resource sharing in the state of Illinois. As of January 2, 2008, all CARLI Governing and Associate members are direct ILDS service locations. To support statewide resource sharing, the 9 regional Illinois regional library systems, and Chicago Public Library are also ILDS delivery locations to provide a mechanism for the transfer of materials traveling between and among ILDS and the regional library systems’ delivery services. A complete list of ILDS locations is available on the ILDS website.
