Resource Sharing (Interlibrary Loan)

Resource Sharing/Interlibrary loan is a privilege extended to UR faculty, staff, and students. It is based on the premise of sharing resources for the good of all. It allows UR University Libraries to obtain materials such as books and journal articles for the purpose of teaching, learning, and research.

Please see our libguide for more information.
