BEYOND PLU

PLU's library may not own all of the materials you want to use.  You may either order them from Interlibrary Loan or go to a local library personally.  We are part of a consortium of libraries that includes:  Northwest College, St. Martin's College, University of Puget Sound, Seattle Pacific University, and Seattle University.  You may use your PLU ID card to check out materials from these libraries.  If you wish to order from Interlibrary Loan, be sure to allow sufficient time for the materials to arrive. Ask at the Reference Desk if you have questions about Interlibrary Loan.
 
 
 

If you have questions while doing library research, ask for help at the reference desk or make an appointment with me for personal research assistance. My office hours for spring are: Tuesdays, 10:00-1:00
