Connecting to the Online Catalog

I-Share is the online catalog of the I-Share member libraries, including the University of Illinois. Do not use the AOL browser to search the online catalog as users report problems of immediate time-out.

Illinois resident may choose to have books sent to an I-Share member library for pick-up. Instructions show you how to initiate an online request. You will need an I-card to request material.

For assistance with the online catalog, please contact the Library Telephone Center toll-free at 1-866-262-1510 or (217)333-8408 or via email at circlib@uiuc.edu.  After 5 PM you may contact reflib@uiuc.edu or the Ask a Librarian service.

Connecting to the Article Databases & Electronic Journals

Many of the online research resources available through the U of I Library Gateway home page are restricted to Internet addresses recognized as belonging to the Urbana campus. To make these resources available to U of I affiliated off-campus users, the Library established a web proxy server system. If you click on a link that requires access via the proxy server, you will be prompted for your NetID and password.
