Access to Online Resources
Databases, online journals, e-books and electronic reference sources, such as the Oxford English Dictionary and Oxford Reference Online, can be accessed from any computer on the Hill. For off-campus access, users need to log in to access electronic resources. When attempting to access these resources from off campus, users will be prompted to enter their 14-digit library account numbers and the first five letters of their last names. The library can supply users with their account numbers by phone at (800) 987-7311 or (812) 357-6401, or by email.
Interlibrary Loan
If the Archabbey Library does not have a book or article, it will borrow it from another library upon request. In most cases, there is no charge for this service. To request something through Interlibrary Loan, send your request by email or drop off your request at the Circulation Desk.
