ILLiad Statuses Explained

ILLiad Statuses

ILLiad puts each request into a status so that we can keep track of where each request is at any given time in the ILL process. Some of the most frequently seen statuses are below. Please feel free to contact us if you need help determining where your request is in the process.

What do these mean?

Awaiting DD Stacks Searching – Purdue Libraries owns the material you’ve requested and we’re preparing to find it so we can fulfill the request..
