UIS participates in a system called I-Share to share books between Illinois research libraries. If you live in Illinois, you can request any book from any I-Share library and check it out at any other I-Share library near you with your UIS I-Card. (If you do not have a physical I-Card, you may be able to use your digital ID in the UIS app, but you will probably want to call ahead to ask the library you're going to if they accept digital IDs and plan to bring another form of identification.)

The following video tutorial demonstrates how to place requests for books available through I-Share.
