You can request materials from the I-SHARE network of over 80 academic libraries in Illinois.
Delivery is often in 2 or 3 days. Your students can use this, too!
Interlibrary Loan
If the book or article you need is not available here, we can often borrow materials from other libraries. Articles may arrive via email OR need to be picked up in person. It generally takes 2 weeks for an item to be sent.
Does the Library need a specific resource to assist your students in their assignments?
Do we need to update the collection in a particular area?
We’d like to hear from you! If you have a suggestion for a specific item, or just want to tell us “we need more (or newer) materials on…” please let us know, or contact your librarian liaison.

The Library subscribes to many databases that are collections of articles from credible academic publications and journals.
Students, faculty and staff can access these on or off-campus. Most databases allow you to create permanent links to articles, allowing you to link from Cobra Learning or a course web page. Need help choosing or using a database? Call 373-3839 or stop by the library.
