The following are selected resources available in the library and on the Internet.
Please note that most of the links listed below will not work if you are accessing this page from off campus. You can remedy this by going to the Library Web Page, where you can connect to Articles & Databases, Reference Sources, and Electronic Journals & Newspapers after providing your Elmhurst College e-mail login and password. If you don't know your E.C. login or password, you'll want to see Computer Services, Room 107 CSTC.
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.
A complete list of our databases 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, you can request it through our online Interlibrary Loan article request form.
Some of the sites listed below give general information on countries, governments, and policies. Others, such as those for Oxfam, the World Health Organization, and EarthAction, are for organizations concentrating on particular issues that you may wish your policy to focus on (such as hunger, education, etc.).
