Borrowing from DePaul

To borrow materials, you must present your DePaul University ID or I-Share member university ID.

Borrowing privileges, loan periods, and limits vary by affiliation:

Borrowing from Other Libraries

If DePaul doesn't own the research materials you need, we will try to obtain them via I-Share or interlibrary loan. Please allow 3-5 business days to receive materials.

What if DePaul doesn't have the book, video or article I need?

Request books, music, and videos via I-Share using LibrarySearch

Request articles and materials from non I-Share libraries through interlibrary loan.

Interlibrary loan will be unavailable from Monday, December 15, 2025 through the end of the year. Service will resume on Friday, January 2, 2026 with a new seamless login experience and a refreshed look and feel.
