  • Create reading lists.

A few things to remember when using ebooks:

  • Ebooks cannot be borrowed or lent through interlibrary loan.
  • Some publishers restrict the amount of pages that can be copied or printed, or may not permit copying or printing at all.

Below are resources you should review that pertain to books and ebooks:

  • a video tutorial about how to look up ebooks

  • links to WorldCat, which show you how to locate books that Lehigh does not own

Finding books that Lehigh does not own

WorldCat is a great resource for finding books Lehigh does not own. 

There are two flavors. They don't necessarily overlap completely.

Interlibrary Loan

If you do not find a print book in Lehigh's Collection, you can use interlibrary loan.

Use Palci first to order a book. If Palci does not have the book, then use ILLiad. 

A note about ebooks: Due to publisher restrictions, e-books are not available to be borrowed or lent through interlibrary loan.

To register for ILLiad, please follow the steps in the tutorial linked directly below this section.
