AN 299: Humans and the Ice Age: Not Finding Books and/or Articles Available from the Library

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

If you need an article or book that the SHU Library does not have, don't despair! You can request the resource you need through the Interlibrary Loan or ILL system. ILL allows you to request an item from another university or library. For electronic copies of articles, it takes about 2-3 business days for you to receive the item, but it may take longer. Print articles and books can take a week or more to arrive. Give yourself some time when requesting material!

• Interlibrary Loan Login
