View Reserve Lists
Currently, students may view reserve lists and materials in person at the Reserves shelving next to the circulation desk.
Reserves are check-out for 2 hours and available for in-house use only. This allows highly used material for a particular course and professor to be shared by all class members.
Order Inter-Library Loan Materials
Members, students, and faculty may order books, articles, reviews, and audio-visual material by way of the Inter-Library Loan (ILL) service at no charge.
Order ILL materials in person, by fax, mail, or e-mail with the Interlibrary Loan Request Form. E-mail requests that include requested information in the form, such as e-mails sent directly to
Szoka.Library@shms.edu from FirstSearch with the subject heading, "INTERLIBRARY LOAN REQUEST" are especially welcome.
