Digital Publication FAQs

How do I access the PDF after I’ve placed my order?
After you submit your order, you can immediately download your PDF by logging into your account at www.ilrc.org. To login select the “Account” tab located on the top, right side of the page, and enter the email address and password you used to place your order.

If you did not receive an email to create a password or cannot remember your password, select the “Request new password” tab from the “Log in” screen and the email will be resent. This email may end up in your SPAM or Junk folders, so be sure to check both.

Once logged in to your account, click the “PDF Downloads” tab to find the link to your PDF(s).
