Getting Materials From Other Libraries

Link+
The Library has a service called Link+ that allows USF patrons to electronically request books that are checked out or that we don’t own and have them quickly delivered to the Library. The time between making a request for an available item and picking up the item is approximately 3-4 business days. 

Interlibrary Loan
Students, faculty and staff may request books,articles, dissertations, and other materials not available at the Library, using ILLiad.

 

Study Areas and Group Study Rooms

There are quiet study areas as well as group study rooms available in the library. For more information on how to reserve a group study room online, as well as use other study areas within the library, please visit Group Study Rooms and Silent, Quiet, and Conversation Areas.
