What if the Library doesn't have a book or article I need?

If you find something we don’t own, you can usually still get it through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). ILL lets you request books, articles, and book chapters from other libraries at no cost to you. To start, go to the Library website, choose “Interlibrary Loan (ILL)” under Research Support, and log in with your SHU username and password to fill out a request form. Please include the title, author, edition, pages needed (or whole book), and ISBN or DOI in your request.
