We Can Help You Get What You Need For Your Research!

If the Library does not own an item you need for your research, we can almost always obtain it for you from another library via a service called Interlibrary Loan. Currently enrolled NU students and current NU faculty and staff may take advantage of this useful service. Reminder: start your research early!
