The IUP Libraries are dedicated to providing patrons with access to materials to support scholarly and professional activities. No modern library can own all materials that patrons need. We therefore offer interlibrary loan services to students, staff, and faculty members of the university to provide materials that are not available at Stapleton Library.
To most quickly gain access to the material requested, it is best to use the following in this order:
- Library users should first search PILOT, our on-line catalog, to determine if materials are owned locally.
- For books not owned by IUP Libraries, search PALCI E-ZBorrow. Most requests submitted through PALCI E-ZBorrow are received within a week.
- For journal articles, check IUP Libraries’ Electronic Journals.
- Materials not available through PILOT, PALCI E-ZBorrow, or electronic full-text via one of the bibliographic databases can be requested through ILLIAD, which allows users to request items, track requests, and renew loaned items.
