Borrowing an Item
If the book you want is checked out, you may submit a request to borrow the book from another library. Once in the Milner Catalog with the record of the checked-out book displayed, click on I-Share Catalog first and repeat the search to verify if another Illinois academic library owns the book. If another Illinois library owns the book, then click on the book title. Now, click on "request" in the bar at the top of the screen and follow the directions. If another Illinois library does not own the book, then you may submit an Interlibrary Loan request.
