I-Share is a network of academic libraries across the state of Illinois that together hold millions of books. The best way to use this resource is to create an I-Share account and have the items you need delivered to North Park.

Creating an I-Share Account

In order to request items from other I-Share libraries, you will need an I-Share account. Existing users can login to their I-Share account. New users will need to create a new I-Share account.
