Accessing Library Materials From Off Campus
Requesting an Article from Another Campus
If you need an item that UNLV Libraries doesn't have available, you always have the option of InterLibrary Loan (ILLiad). Sometimes in QuickSearch you'll try to navigate to the item you want and instead you'll see a link that says "Request from another library (interlibrary loan)". That means a nearby library will either scan the item and e-mail it to your ILL account OR they will mail the item to UNLV Libraries for you to pick up.
