Rutgers Library Catalog (QuickSearch)

• Have the title of an article that you need? Enter the title in quotation marks into the QuickSearch box and see if the system can find an accessible copy.
• Have the name of a specific book that you need? Use the "Browse" search to look for that title.

If a book that you need is not available (not owned/checked out) at the Dana Library, but is available from another Rutgers Library, you can request delivery of that book to Dana by bringing up the record for the book in QuickSearch, logging in with your NetID, and clicking on the Request button. Or, you can request delivery by mail by selecting Personal Delivery > Home Address in QuickSearch.

The fastest way to get a copy of a book that is not owned or not available (checked out/on Reserve/missing etc.) at the Rutgers Libraries is to request it through E-Z Borrow. E-Z Borrow books are normally received within about five working days.

If a book is not owned by the Rutgers Libraries and is not available via E-Z Borrow, you can place an Interlibrary Loan request.
