Interlibrary Loan Service
Interlibrary loan helps current Harrisburg University students, faculty, and staff get copies of items that are unavailable in our own library. Just tell us what you need; we will find out which other library owns it and request a copy, free of charge to you.
There are two ways to make requests:
- Use the "Request Interlibrary Loan" link from our library database search results
- Sign in here. Click "Create Request" and enter the author, title, and other publicaton details for the item you need.
