The library can provide books to you through our Intercampus Loan service. All you need to do is complete the online form and submit it. Your request will be processed and sent to your campus. Couriers do not go to every campus every day, so allow extra time for this process if you’re working to complete an assignment.
What if I can’t find the book I need in the library catalog?
The library will try to locate the item you need from another library using our Interlibrary Loan service. Just complete and submit the appropriate form to request a book, article, or audio/visual item you are looking for. More information about this service is printed on each of these pages.
