If you forget your Illiad password, please contact the UMW Libraries for assistance. We can reset your password and help you gain access to the Illiad system.

Many databases will allow you to email articles directly from the databases to your personal email addresses.  If you choose to use this handy feature, be sure to check your email account to verify that these database emails have arrived in your email inboxes.  Network issues, web traffic, and spam filters will occassionally disrupt the delivery of database emails.  So be sure you have received your database emails before exiting a database.

If you want to see if the UMW Libraries owns a journal, magazine, or newspaper, then search the Journal Finder. The Journal Finder will search the UMW Libraries online and print collections to see if your publication is available within the University of Mary Washington Libraries system.

Most of the UMW Libraries’ databases and electronic journals are licensed for use by the current students, faculty, and staff of the University of Mary Washington. To comply with the requirements mandated by these database vendors, UMW must identify each user by requiring users to login to the UMW system via a proxy server.

When you click on the name of a database or another restricted library resource, you will be required to enter your Novell username and password.  This is the same username and password used to login to UMW email and Blackboard.

For a more detailed explanation on how to access the UMW Libraries’ databases from off-campus, please see our “Using Databases from Off-campus” website.

Zotero is a free, downloadable plug-in that works specifically with the Firefox web-browser.  Zotero allows users to collect, manage, and cite research materials directly from the UMW Libraries’ databases, the UMW Libraries’ book catalog, and from a variety of internet sources.  Zotero also allows you to create automatic bibliographies and in-text citations using a variety of different style guides – including APA, MLA, and Chicago.

Do you need books or articles from Simpson Library but don’t want to make the trip? Items from Simpson can be delivered to the CGPS Stafford Library. Please use ILLIAD to place your requests.

Not finding what you need at UMW Libraries? Place an InterLibrary Loan (ILL) request via ILLIAD and we will get it for you from another library.
