Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery
If you need a book or an article that the UI Libraries don't own, you can request what you need as a member at the University of Iowa, this includes current students, staff, and faculty. Interlibrary Loan and UBorrow are both free services where you can request materials the UI Libraries do not own or have available.
