The ISU Library will not always have the materials you need. The sooner you begin your research, the sooner you will discover what materials, if any, you need to get from somewhere else. You have several options:

Online Catalogs Within Indiana: Use the Other Libraries option on the Library Home Page to explore other Indiana college libraries. Your Sycamore ID allows you check-out privileges at these universities, if you choose to go in person. Return materials to the ISU Library Interlibrary Loan Office and we will return them for you (be sure to do this well in advance of the other library’s due date)

Normally, you will probably just identify the items and then turn in with complete information to Interlibrary Loan (below).

ISU Interlibrary Loan: Electronic Interlibrary Loan is available Library WWW page (http://library.indstate.edu)

Average turnaround time is 7-10 working days, so plan accordingly. Some limits to the number of requests per person per week do apply; for more information, email libill@isugw.indstate.edu. When notified, pick up materials at the main Check-Out Desk.

FirstSearch (OCLC) and UnCover: Both of these electronic databases let you search for journal articles from a large selection of journals. FirstSearch searches articles in 12,500 periodicals (Internet) allows you to email your interlibrary loan request directly to the ISU Interlibrary Loan Office. UnCover (Internet) allows you to search 17,000 periodical titles, but you must print your record screens and bring them to the Interlibrary Loan office. Separate handouts on these are available.
