If you cannot find an item listed as "on Shelf" check with the Reference Desk. They will look for the item too. If the item cannot be found they may be able to substitute other materials or find the item in another library. The item will then be designated as missing and, if you still need it, you will be notified when it is found.
The Library has agreements with Benedictine University, Elmhurst College, North Central College, and Wheaton College that allow C.O.D. students, faculty, and staff to borrow directly. Please make sure you read the information carefully so that you have the proper identification before you arrive at those libraries. Sorry, these agreements are not available for community borrowers.
If you cannot find the material you need in the C.O.D. Library, you may wish to request an Interlibrary Loan.
Interlibrary loan check-out periods and renewals are at the discretion of the lending library.
