How do I find a book about...?

How do I get journals?

Is there a color printer in the library?

What is the best alternative to getting my book if the library owns it, but it is checked out or I can't find it?

If the book is checked out, missing, or lost, the system will allow you to order it through PALCI, which can be found on the Library home page. The book will be here in three to five days.

If you cannot find a book that you need, fill out a "Book Search Form," or ask for a supervisor to help you look. If it is not found, "Missing" will be put in the record, which will allow you to order the book through PALCI. If it is not available through PALCI, you will be prompted to pursue ordering the book through our Interlibrary Loan system. If this is your first time using Interlibrary Loan, you will be prompted to create an account first.

How long is my library account active after I graduate or leave the university?

A student library account is only active while enrolled in classes or when a student has registered for credit(s). A library account expiration date has been established to ensure that graduating students or those leaving the university receive all library communications via their IUP email account before the email account is deactivated 60 days following commencement/end of semester/departure from the university.
