Requesting IU Materials

Intercampus loan

As part of one Indiana University, IU 51ÁÔÆæ students, faculty, and staff can borrow certain materials from other IU libraries. These materials can be requested in IUCAT and will be delivered to IU 51ÁÔÆæ for you to pick up and use.

Please allow approximately five (5) business days for items to arrive.

Electronic library materials (e.g., eBooks, streaming video, etc.) cannot be borrowed through intercampus delivery.

To request electronic items we do not currently own, you have two choices: use interlibrary loan or submit a purchase request.
