Find books, articles, media, and more at Butler and beyond
Academic libraries share materials between each other via InterLibrary Loan. For Butler users, the Interlibrary loan system is connected with your regular library borrowing account which can be accessed here.
You can request articles or books that Butler doesn't own from other libraries by searching in the Butler WorldCat discovery tool. If we own or can access something, you'll see shelf information or an access link, and if we don't own something, you'll see an Interlibrary Loan request button instead.
Please allow up to 2 weeks for delivery of physical items. An e-mail will be sent when print materials are ready for pick-up. You can select pick-up at Irwin or Science when making your request.
Most journal articles arrive in 3-4 days and will be sent electronically.
