POLS 232, American Politics II (Walsh): Library Resources

Interlibrary Loan, or ILL, is a free service by which the library will order items we don't have from other libraries. A few facts to know:

• You don't need to give up on an article just because we don't have full-text access to it. And you should never need to pay for an article. Submit an ILL request instead. 
• ILL averages a two-day turn-around on article requests. You can also request a book chapter or a full book. Full books take longer and come to the library via mail or courier. 
• There is no charge for ILL and no limit to the number of requests. 
• It's easy to request an ILL from the Library Resources page:

Location of physical materials: Children's books, Ready Reference books, public computers, printers, and scanners are on main floor. Circulating books (available for checkout) are on the second floor. Bound print periodicals are on the lower level, along with the IT Helpdesk, the Center for Teaching and Learning, and the Student Communication Center. 

Study rooms: Study rooms have flat-screen projection capability. There are study rooms on the second floor of the library.

Ask a Librarian

Librarians offer in-depth research help. 

Visit

During library open hours, ask at the main desk for help finding what you need. The desk is usually staffed by student workers - if you have in-depth research questions, just let them know that you want to meet with a librarian.
