Can't find what you're looking for in the SU Libraries?
No library owns everything!
If we don't have what you're looking for, we'll borrow it for you from another library:
- books
- book chapters
- journal articles
- conference papers
- technical reports
- theses
- standards
- patents
This is a FREE service provided by the SU Library through ILLiad, our automated interlibrary loan system. Some publications (e.g. journal articles) may be e-mailed directly to you as PDF files. Books must be picked up at the Bird Library.
If you don't have an account, go to ILLiad, follow the link for "First Time Users" and fill in the form to create a new account. You'll be able to start using ILLiad right away.
