Once you are signed in, click on the drop box in the search bar and select “All I-Share Libraries.” This will allow you to search all the materials available through I-Share.
After selecting “All I-Share Libraries” enter your search terms and click the search button. 
Once you have entered the search, the results will appear. Look through the results to see if the material you are looking for is there.

- Check to make sure the information you entered in the search bar is correct
- Change your search terms
- Make an ILL request (link here)
If you do find the material, select the title of the material you want request.
Note: If the material you are looking for is an individual journal article, you will want to use the Interlibrary Loan Request form. For instructions on making Interlibrary Loan Requests please see Requesting Materials Through ILL
