Course Reserve Books

Reserve books can be checked out for one, four, or seven days depending on the item. You can check them out from the circulation desk at each campus Library. Contact the Library to ask about course reserve text availability.

Inter-Library Loan

Pro Tip: If the Library doesn't have the book or article that you need, try requesting it through inter-library loan (ILL). ILL allows you borrow items from other libraries, even those that are out of state. 

Get started by creating a free account with Illiad by choosing "First Time Users." You'll only need to do this the first time you request an item. Then fill out the request form for the item you would like to borrow.
