I-Share

I-Share is a consortium of Illinois colleges, universities, and libraries with a library resource sharing agreement. In addition to requesting items from the DePaul University Library online, students, faculty, and staff from participating I-Share member institutions may borrow library materials on-site at the DePaul University Library with a current college/university ID card. The I-Share patron's library account must be active. DePaul University Library staff cannot update I-Share patron library accounts.

See I-Share Members for a list of participating institutions.
