Interlibrary Loan Status Messages
In Your ILLiad account, you will notice different status messages for your requests. Here is a guide to those status messages:
| ILLiad Status | What It Means |
| Awaiting Conditional Processing | A potential lender has sent us a question about your request. We respond to those questions as soon as possible to expedite the receipt of your item. |
| Awaiting Copyright Clearance | We are reviewing your article or book chapter request to determine if copyright fees must be paid to obtain a copy. Not to worry though, all of those copyright costs are covered by Franklin & Marshall College Library! |
| Awaiting Customer Contact | Your item is ready, and a notification email will be sent to you momentarily. |
| Awaiting Post Receipt Processing | Your item has arrived, and we are preparing it for pick-up! |
