When you're looking for help finding something in our print or electronic collections, the first place to go is our Information Desk, located near the main entrance. They'll help you locate what you need, or refer you to one of our faculty librarians to help you get the reference and research support you're looking for.

There are many ways to get in touch with the Information Desk or a librarian—visit Reference and Research Services for more information.

To check out a book, take the book to the Circulation Desk located on the first floor of the library. You will need to present your I-Card or Community Library Card to the Circulation staff.

If you're an undergraduate student or Community Library Card holders, you can check out a book for 30 days, with two renewals. Graduate students can borrow a book for 90 days, with two renewals; and faculty, staff, and administrators can borrow a book for 90 days, with three renewals.

Items you've borrowed are renewed automatically by our library systems. Once you have reached your maximum renewals, we are unable to grant additional renewals and you are required to return the item.

You can request a book through the or interlibrary loan systems. There is no cost to the student for using interlibrary loan services.

Visit Interlibrary Loan for more details about those services.

If we don't have the book or article you need, you can make a request via one of our Interlibrary Loan services:

• If you are looking for a book, please use the service to make the request.
• If it's an article you need (or a book that can't be found in PALCI), please visit the page to submit your request.

If you requested the book via PALCI, you may keep it for 60 days, with no renewals. If you used ILLIAD to request the book, the borrowing period will vary according to the lending institution's requirements, but it is typically two to three weeks.

Only graduate students and faculty can check out reference materials or journals/serials.
