Ways to Get Resources

There are three ways to get library books here at SU.

  1. SU Libraries
  2. Direct Borrowing from our consortium,The University System of Maryland and Affiliated Institutions (USMAI)- including College Park and Towson. Materials requested from USMAI institutions typically come in 3-5 days, sometimes sooner.
  3. Interlibrary loan (ILL) from libraries outside USMAI. Materials requested through ILL typically come in 1-2 weeks, depending on where the lending library is located.

To check the status of items or renew them online: ILLUSMAI. All accounts use the same login information (what is used for Gullnet, email, and campus computers).
