How to request books and book chapters
Use QuickSearch to search for print books and e-books (and articles, videos, etc.). If your search result includes an e-book, click "View Online". Some books may have restrictions on the number of pages you can download or require you to download special software. If you have questions about accessing text in an e-book, Ask Us.
If a print book is available to check it out, click on the title. Then click "Sign In" and "Request Item".
If the book is checked out at Rutgers, the QuickSearch record says "Not Available". Sign in to EZBorrow to borrow the book from a non-Rutgers library.
If you don't find the book in QuickSearch, use EZBorrow.
