Interlibrary Loan

If the item you need is not available through the University Libraries, you can request it via Interlibrary Loan (ILL). ILL is a fast, free service which obtains materials for study and research, such as books, theses, and periodical articles that are not otherwise available. To submit an ILL request, use ILLiad.

Graduate students who are enrolled in independent study or thesis supervision, do not attend or teach courses on campus, and live more than 20 miles from the Lakeside campuses are eligible for distance education services.

Research Assistance

Librarians are available to assist with research any time the libraries are open. For immediate assistance, Ask a Librarian, or use one of our helpful Research Guides to find the most useful resources for your research topic. You can also request an appointment with a subject specialist for individualized assistance with identifying and locating resources. In addition, the libraries offer regular Classes & Workshops to sharpen your research skills.

Technology

All University Libraries provide computer labs, wireless access, printing, and digital media services. See Computers & Technology for more information.

Course Reserves

Course Reserves are materials set aside by your instructor for use by your class. These can include books, excerpts from books, journal articles, films, videos, or audio recordings. Use the Course Reserves Search to find materials for your class, or see Course Reserves for more information.

eCommons and Open Access
