Library Resources for Students

An overview of library resources and services available in support of online research.

Purchase Requests and Interlibrary Loan

If we don't have access to a title you are looking for, please consider making an interlibrary loan or purchase request. Interlibrary loan means we will look for another library that owns the title that might be willing to loan it out to us for a limited period of time. A purchase request means that the UNCSA library will purchase a copy to add to our collection.

Book Pull and Checkout Requests

Requests are now available through Librarysearch. Search results for on-campus materials allow logged-in users to request books, scores, and DVDs for pickup. Requested materials are held for you on the shelves on the 1st floor of the Library to the left of the new books display.  

  • Requests normally take 24 hours to be filled.
  • Materials are available for pickup after receiving a confirmation email from library staff.
  • Items are available for pickup for 10 days.
