Resource Sharing
Highlight
Resource sharing, commonly known as
interlibrary loan, makes sure that needed material
gets to the correct user in a timely fashion. To that
end, we use two systems, EZBorrow and ILLiad, to
both request materials from other libraries as well
as ship our materials to our partner libraries.

For EZBorrow, we partner with over 60 academic
libraries in our Partnership for Academic Library
Collaboration and Innovation coupled with a
delivery system which allows us to fill requests
within 3-5 business days for books. In addition,
students may borrow the books for 16 weeks –
the entire semester. Many students have been

able to reduce their textbook costs by borrowing

their texts via EZBorrow.
