Can I do all my research at home or from a computer off-campus?

Yes. However, many of the resources are licensed for NEIU users only, so you will be challenged to login using your NEIU NetID and Password.

What is Interlibrary Loan and why is it important?

Library research often helps you identify materials you want that we don't own. Interlibrary Loan is important because it is a free service the library offers to get you those materials. In other words, if we don't own it, we'll get it for you.

How does Interlibrary Loan work?

There are two ways of getting something we don't own from Interlibrary Loan.

1. Request a book we don't own that you find in I-Share. I-Share is a single library catalog interface that searches over 70 libraries in Illinois. All you need to request a book from I-Share is the 14 digit number on your NEIU ID card. You will be able to pick up the book once it arrives at the NEIU library circulation desk.
2. Request an online version of a journal or magazine article that we don't own (either in print or online), or a book that is not in I-Share. To do this, you will need to register for an ILLiad Interlibrary Loan account. Online versions of requested articles are delivered to your online ILLiad account, and books are delivered to the NEIU library circulation desk.

What is the "Find It@NEIU" service and why is it important?

The Find It@NEIU button appears in library databases and the library catalog. Clicking on this button generates a menu that provides links to full text online when available, an option to search the library catalog for a print copy, and also an option to request the item via ILLiad Interlibrary Loan if there is no other availability. In other words, clicking on this button helps you actually get something that you find as you're doing your research.
