Interlibrary Loan: Borrowing Materials From Other Libraries

The I-Share System

I-Share, managed by the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois (CARLI), is an integrated library system that serves as the online catalog for 94 member libraries and contains over nine million unique bibliographic records. Knox College faculty, staff and students have the ability to borrow materials (remotely or onsite) from other member libraries using a valid Knox ID card. Patrons with library circulation blocks may be prevented from borrowing I-Share materials and should contact the Circulation Desk (309-341-7246) for help in resolving circulation issues.
