Over the next six months, the Library will be shifting large numbers of books and journals in the Main Stacks and other locations as part of long-term collection management and building projects. Library users may find more items in the online catalog with a status of “in process” during this period, and may also find that materials maintain this status for longer than usual.

Library users are encouraged to check I-Share, the statewide catalog, to see if a copy is available from another library in the I-Share consortium.   For instructions on requesting books online via I-Share, see www.library.illinois.edu/ugl/howdoi/checkout.html or call the Library Phone Center at (217) 333-8400.

Books not owned by an I-Share library, may be available through the Library’s Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery Office .  Library users can also seek assistance from subject specialists listed at www.library.illinois.edu/administration/collections/subjectdirectory.html .
