Use the online catalog to find items in the Brandel Library.  You can expand your search to find and order items from other Illinois academic libraries. 

Catalog Search Tips

• The default search setting is "keyword search." For a more detailed search using limitors, click on "Advanced Search" below the box.
• If you would like to search for items in the 76 IShare libraries, select "IShare Catalog" from the drop down menu to the right of the search box.
• To order books through interlibrary loan, you will need to set up an account and establish a username and password.

Your North Park ID gives you access to the 76 IShare libraries.  Members of this consortium include most of the Illinois academic libraries.  You can use your North Park ID to check out items in person or through interlibrary loan, however many libraries do not circulate special items such as DVDs to guest users.
