What's Happening at the NEIU Libraries?

The Ronald Williams Library is very happy to introduce our new Dean of Libraries, Steven R. Harris, who joins us on August 1.

Mr. Harris comes to NEIU after serving as an Assistant Dean at the University of Nevada, Reno since 2013. He has had a 30-plus-year career in university libraries throughout the country, first earning tenure at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. In addition he has held several leadership roles in the American Library Association and its divisions, including the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) and the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS).

Please join us in welcoming Dean Harris!

Watch free streaming video anytime through one of NEIU's subscription video packages. We offer both Academic Video Online from Alexander Street and Films On Demand from Infobase with unlimited viewing through our subscriptions.

Academic Video Online contains over 67,000 videos from producers and just launched a new 'mobile first' interface. Content is offered within collections ranging from American History to Environmental Studies to Classical Music. Also included are over 1,000 documentaries in Filmmakers Library Online.

Films On Demand offers exclusive content as well as the best of Ken Burns, the latest documentaries from HBO Films and more. One cool feature is the calendar, with curated collections of films about notable people, historical events, and holidays every day.

As of July 1, 2019 NEIU Library interlibrary loan services are being managed by WorldShare instead of ILLiad. The system will work just like ILLiad, delivering electronic copies of articles borrowed from other libraries and managing non-I-Share book loans. However, you may notice a few differences.

Here is the new login page. Use your NEIU NetID and password to login to WorldShare. This is the same information you use to login to NEIUport, D2L, and Nmail.

By default, WorldShare will send an email to your NEIU email address when your requests are ready for online or in-person pickup. If you would prefer to receive a text or email at a different address, here's how:

1. Log in to WorldShare using your NEIU NetID and password.
2. Click on Communication Preferences.
3. Enter a non-NEIU email address, a cell phone number, or both
4. Under the Select Preferences area, choose the Send library account updates to me button along with the appropriate check boxes.
5. Click the Save Changes button.

ILLiad is no longer available for interlibrary loan requests, so please update your links if you have it bookmarked. If you have any questions, please contact circill@neiu.edu.

Finally, if you cannot login to WorldShare (but can login to NEIUport, D2L, and Nmail), or if you do not remember your NEIU NetID and password, please reset your NEIU password using the university's Identity Self-Service Login.
