Resources for LEEP Students

Frequently Asked Questions

 

I want to use the LIS library (or other campus libraries) when I'm on campus. When is the library open?

I need help finding facts, citations, or materials on a subject. Who do I call? What password do I use to access electronic information resources?

It depends on the resource.

  • Use your NetID and password to:
  • Use your 14-digit barcode number (found on your I-Card) to:
    • Log into UIUC Library Online Catalog and access your own borrower account to track requests, monitor due dates, and renew books.
    • Save searches and create current awareness profiles in databases running under the OVID interface, such as ERIC.
My 14-digit number on my I-Card isn't valid. Who can fix it?
  • Contact the Academic Outreach Librarian, Pat, at xlibrary@uiuc.edu or 800-252-1360 ext. 33773.
I need an article. Can you fax it to me?
  • The Academic Outreach Library handles all delivery of photocopied articles from the LIS (and other campus library) collections. Submit your request over the web, using their order form.
How can I learn to search ILLINET Online, article databases, the Internet? If I want a book that is not for a UIUC class, can I order it and only pay return postage?
  • Academic Outreach will send out library science-related books not required for a specific course. Students need just to indicate n/a (not applicable) in the space asking for the course information (on our online request forms). Books that are not program-related should be obtained through the student's public library.
