Borrowing from Other Libraries

If DePaul doesn't own research materials you need, we will try to obtain them via I-Share or interlibrary loan. Please allow 5-7 days to receive materials.

To request materials from non I-Share libraries, DePaul users can login to Interlibrary Loan to make requests.
