ALLOWED -- Books, audio or music CDs, articles from magazines, journals or newspapers, government documents, are generally available for borrowing. 

NOT ALLOWED – Reference books, rare or historical items or manuscripts, entire issues of journals, theses and dissertations, items held by a very small number of libraries, unpublished papers, and genealogical materials are generally not available for borrowing. Textbooks are rarely lent unless it's an older version. Due to licensing restrictions, we cannot obtain eBooks through Interlibrary Loan at this time. For special requests, contact a librarian (in person or via Ask a Librarian).
Occasionally, we may not be able to fulfill your request due to availability and copyright restrictions.
