Have a Question?

What if the library doesn't have the book I want? Can I request books from other libraries?

On-campus students, faculty, and staff can request print items through interlibrary loan. Our Requesting Materials from Other Libraries guide walks you through the process of submitting a request. Books typically take 1-2 weeks to arrive from another library, depending on availability and shipping times.

While the library is able to request print books through interlibrary loan for on-campus users, the short loan periods on interlibrary loan books there is not enough time to ship items to online and distance learning students and guarantee you enough time to use them. For our online and distance students, we recommend visiting your local public library, as many offer free or low-cost interlibrary loan services. Many academic libraries also welcome community members to use their collections in-house, and some even offer community member borrowing privileges.
