Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Research Guide

A guide to finding books, articles and other materials for TESL.

How to Get a Book

Usually, it's simple.

  1. Look up the title, author, or subject in library search
  2. Find and write down the Call Number
  3. Go to the appropriate floor, get the book, and check it out at Circulation on the 1st floor.

But what if the NEIU Libraries don't have the book you need?

First, check to see if the book is held by other I-Share libraries. Click the blueBorrow 1st Available button and follow the instructions.

If the book is not available in I-Share, click Borrow through WorldShare interlibrary loan to request the book.
