Online & Distance Education Guide: Books & Journals

UIC Library provides access to thousands of health science journals online.

For print books, you need an i-Card (UIC Student ID). This can be picked up on-campus. With your i-Card, you have options to borrow books from Non-UIC Libraries: http://library.uic.edu/help/article/1963/use-other-non-uic-libraries (If you unable to visit campus for your i-Card but want to get one, please contact your home department.)

The library also has access to thousands of online books. Available through a variety of platforms, here is an informational page about the different collections: http://researchguides.uic.edu/ebooks. You can search for these items in our catalog by limiting to "electronic resources" and/or "e-books." You may also find e-books or book chapters in some of our databases.

If you'd like to recommend an item for purchase, please contact the library using the form on this page:

Library Search is the main search option on the library homepage: 

When you enter a search here, you will get a results page including articles, books and media. For additional details about this search, please see this help webpage about the UIC Library Search.

CARLI I-Share Catalog

The CARLI I-Share Catalog shows you items held by other libraries in the CARLI Consortium. However, if you do not have an iCard and/or do not plan to borrow print books from the library, this catalog will not be of much use.

Now you can request an online consultation with a librarian through the "Get Help by Appointment" form!
