Interlibrary Loan | Tipasa

To log into Tipasa use your UNT Dallas credentials (ie. EUID and password). From the Tipasa patron portal, users will be able to place direct ILL requests, view the status of active requests, view due dates and overdue information, and place renewals when available. The portal also issues notifications to patrons regarding delivery of materials, due dates and overdue notices, and other communication regarding your requests.

We recommend using either the Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browser with Tipasa; there are known compatibility issues with Internet Explorer, Edge, and Safari.

When physical copies of requested materials arrive and have been processed, the patron will receive a notification informing them that the ILL request is ready to pick up. Physical materials can be retrieved at the circulation desk by presenting a photo ID (ex. Your UNT Dallas ID).

Electronic copies of full-text articles will be sent through your Tipasa patron portal where they can be accessed and downloaded. Once articles have been received, they may be accessed a total of five times within 30 days before the link expires. 

If you are having issues accessing our physical or subscribed electronic resources, please contact the library at 972-338-1616 or ill@untdallas.edu for assistance. 

Patrons are financially responsible for overdue fines, and replacement costs for damaged or lost items. ILL privileges for patrons with overdue items and outstanding fines, will be suspended until the account is returned to good standing. Failure to return interlibrary loan materials by the due date may lead to replacement charges levied by the lending library. In order to remain in good standing with our interlibrary loan partners, the UNT Dallas Library pays replacement charges. The patron is responsible for reimbursing the UNT Dallas Library. Replacement charges are non-refundable.

The library staff works hard to keep requests moving at a steady pace. However, it is important to know that ILL also requires the cooperation of the lending libraries as well. We ask for your patience in the process and if you do not receive any communication regarding the requested materials within two weeks, please contact the library at 972-338-1616 or ill@untdallas.edu.
