Borrowing From Another Library
Request a book or other item that Morris Library does not own, using either I-Share or interlibrary loan.
If you can't find an item you want at Morris Library in I-Share, please follow these steps:
- Check for the item in all I-Share libraries. Items requested from I-Share will arrive quickly, usually within a week. Please do not request articles or journals through I-Share. Books requested through I-Share are held at the Circulation Desk for four (4) weeks and then returned to the lending library.
- Request the item through interlibrary loan. Please request articles you cannot find in SIU's print and electronic collections through this service. Items requested through interlibrary loan will take a bit longer than books requested through I-Share. Librarians will search for your item in libraries across the world. You can search libraries worldwide using WorldCat.
