Visitors are welcome to browse books on the shelves in most departmental libraries. Access to the Main Stacks in the Main Library is limited to University of Illinois faculty, staff, and students, as well as patrons with courtesy cards.
Visitors also have the option of requesting University of Illinois materials through the interlibrary loan department at their local public or university library. For more information on interlibrary loans at the University of Illinois, please visit Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery.
Many of the University of Illinois online journals and databases are only available to current University students, faculty, and staff. However, these subscription-based resources can be accessed on public computers in most departmental libraries.
