New interlibrary loan system

Wartburg's interlibrary loan system has migrating to a new software platform called Tipasa over the summer. The process of making interlibrary loan (ILL) requests for books and articles will be greatly streamlined by this change – you simply log in with your Wartburg username and password. All currently active requests will migrate over to the new platform, but electronically delivered articles and past request history cannot be migrated. You will be able to access your ILLiad account for 30 days after the migration is complete under the Library Links section of Tipasa’s user portal, but all new requests now will need to be submitted through the new system. You can also use this portal to customize your communication preferences for ILL – including notifications via text message. If you have any questions, contact Elisa Klope, interlibrary loan supervisor at Vogel Library (319-352-8258), or email illiad@wartburg.edu.

Juice publishing schedule for summer

The Juice will publish intermittently through the summer as needed. Weekly Juice emails will begin again Monday, Aug. 26, just before the start of Fall Term.

If you have items that need to be sent through the Juice, send an email to Juice@wartburg.edu. For items that need to be sent immediately, contact stephanie.boeding@wartburg.edu (the Juice email inbox is not monitored throughout the day).
