If you are accessing this page from off campus, the links to most library databases will not work. To use these resources, go to the Library Web Page, where you can connect to Articles and Databases, Reference Sources, and Electronic Journals and Newspapers after providing your Elmhurst College login and password. If you don't know your E.C. login or password, you'll want to see Computer Services, Room 107 CSTC.

Finding Books

You can locate books owned by the library using Illinet Online. If a book appears in the catalog, but is not available at Elmhurst, you can request the item directly in Illinet Online. Please ask a librarian if you need assistance. Books not available through Illinet may be ordered through our online Interlibrary Loan book request form. You can track down books in non-Illinet libraries using Worldcat.

Finding Journal Articles

Full-text Databases:

Indexing and Abstracting Databases:

You may also find articles using some of the other library resources, such as Lexis-Nexis Academic Universe. A list of databases and online journals is available online.

Once you've identified your articles, use Illinet Online to determine if the library owns the journal in print or in microfilm. Because there are also journals available electronically, you'll want to check Journals and Magazines Available Online for electronic access to journals.

If you cannot find an article at Elmhurst College, you can request it through our online Interlibrary Loan article request form.
