Finding Materials in the University Library

Guides to Finding Materials

These pages will explain how to find books, articles and journals, reserves, dissertations, and movies/videos, as well as how to find items in the Main Stacks, in departmental libraries, at the Oak Street High Density Storage Facility, and in off-campus (non-UIUC) libraries.

This page will show you how to use the four categories of resources (Article Indexes and Abstracts, Journals and Newspapers, Reference Tools, and All Resources) on the Online Research Resources (ORR) page, including searching for a title, browsing, and searching for a subject.

This page presents several options for sending and receiving faxes without a fax machine.  The library does not provide a fax machine for patron use, so it recommends patrons use the following services.
