Library Catalogs and Books

Use I-Share for express borrowing or use WorldCat for Interlibrary Loan (ILL).  Both catalogs allow IIT patrons to obtain books, articles, and other materials not owned by, or currently available at, IIT Libraries. Access to I-Share is available to IIT faculty, students, staff and eligible patrons. Interlibrary Loan services are offered free to IIT faculty, students and staff.
 


Local Search: Use the IIT Library Catalog to search for books and journals held by Galvin Library and any of IIT's branch libraries. View your patron record at "My Account" to see items checked out from I-Share libraries. Search the local catalog for print journal titles.
 

Voyager
Express Borrow:The I-Share catalog allows 24/7 access to the catalogs of dozens of academic libraries that are part of CARLI (Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois). Search, request and renew items without the assistance of library staff by using the "MyAccount" feature. For information on Chicago area or suburban I-Share Libraries that IIT patrons can visit and borrow items directly, consult this list.
