OCLC Lending Resumes

We will begin accepting OCLC InterLibrary Loan requests on Monday, 4/23. If you have any questions, please contact the InterLibrary Loan (ILL) Department at 847-872-4680, ext. 108. 

eContent Update

Our Consortium is working very hard on integrating our digital collections into the catalog. This process will take some time to complete.
 
What this means is that records from our digital collections are being added daily. If you are searching for downloadable content (eBooks, eAudiobooks, or eMagazines), you will not see all of our holdings in the search until the project is complete.
 
What we recommend is that you visit each one of our digital collections directly to  browse, checkout, and download the desired content at this time.
