Public Health Research Guide

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.

Click on the link to get printable instructions. You will learn how to read call numbers so that you can find books and other materials at the NEIU Libraries.
