Interlibrary Loan is a library service where we will borrow other items for you from other libraries. If you need a resource that we do not have, submit an ILL request through the website or by searching and requesting it through Discover UR (instructions linked below).
The library accepts recommendations for resource purchases to support your teaching and research.
If you would like to request the library investigate a new electronic resource (journal or database), please contact your liaison librarian.
Discover UR- the search bar at the top of our homepage is where you can search the library's catalog and many of our electronic resources. You can start with a basic search, or click "Advanced Search" to be brought to the search tools.
While you will often search "Discover UR", you can click the down arrow next to the search bar to limit your search. You can search course reserves, for a specific journal, or the library website.
Review our A-Z database list to see if there is a specialized resource that meets your information needs. And you can always reach out to your liaison librarian if you have any questions about our resources and how to access them.
If you are seeking to add individual resources to your class, we recommend that you provide a stable link through the discover UR record. This is not only more stable than the individual article URL but allows us to track usage of resources as we seek to maintain access to resources our campus needs.
