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:
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.
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.
