Books From Other Libraries

Books from Other USMAI Libraries

If you are a student, faculty, or staff member of Salisbury University, you have access to the library collections of all of the University of Maryland affiliated universities through our shared library catalog.  To borrow a book from another campus, follow these steps:

  • Select "Choose Campus" from the menu at the top
  • Choose a campus or USMAI for all the campuses
  • Perform the search
  • When you find a book you want that is not at SU, click on the location link
  • Click the request button if the item is available
  • Log in with the information from your Gull Card and complete the request
  •  

Books from Interlibrary Loan/Worldcat

Interlibrary Loan is a great tool that allows you to borrow a book from libraries outside the USMAI system.  Before you submit a request, make sure that we don't own the book here at SU or at one of the other USMAI institutions.  If not, you can submit a request through ILLiad.

You can also search Worldcat, which is a huge catalog of materials from libraries all over the world.  If the book you want is in a library, chances are pretty good you will find it in Worldcat!  If you find the book you want and you know it is not available at SU or any USMAI campus, then you can click the Find It button and then request the book through Interlibrary Loan.  The advantage of doing it this way is that you don't have to fill in all the information about the book!
