The Illinois Library Delivery Service is managed by the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois, in cooperation with the Illinois State Library.

ILDS serves CARLI Governing members, the Illinois regional library systems, and Chicago Public Library in order to provide a mechanism for the transfer of materials between and among ILDS and the regional library systems’ delivery services.
