When The Gumberg Library doesn't own a book you need or cannot provide access to an article, you have the following options:
E-ZBorrow - Try this first for books
If a needed book is not owned by the Gumberg Library, the book may be available from an academic library in some other part of Pennsylvania or a surrounding state. To see more information about E-ZBorrow and to request books, click this E-ZBorrow link.
ILLiad (Interlibrary Loan) - Use this for articles
For books not available locally or from other Pennsylvania libraries, and for journal articles not available through Gumberg Library, your option for obtaining materials is ILLiad. Click this ILLiad link to lean more about Interlibrary Loan and to request materials.
