The Library belongs to a consortium of over 90 academic libraries in Illinois called I-Share. You may request books from I-Share libraries to be sent to the Ronald Williams Library for pick-up. Search the I-Share catalog now.
WorldShare interlibrary loan is used by current NEIU students, faculty, and staff to request articles from other libraries. It is also used to request books and other materials that are not available in the I-Share Catalog.
You can log in to WorldShare with your NEIU NetID and password.
There is no limit to the number of items you may check out from NEIU's general collection or the new book area. Other items may have special limits or may only be used in the library (such as reference books, tests, and reserve items).
