Search HC Libraries Subscriptions for Full Text Access to an Electronic Journal

Search the title of the journal to discover if the HC Libraries provides full text access to it.  If we do not, you can request a full text article via interlibrary loan.

Interlibrary Loan

Request materials that we do not own in the Holy Cross Libraries' collections.  These materials will be lent from other libraries.  

Note:  Electronic articles or scanned book chapters usually take 1-2 business days or longer.  Print materials need to be shipped through the postal mail, and generally take 5-10 business days or longer.  

** Login to the ILLiad Interlibrary Loan System using your campus email account.  If this is the first time you're using the system, you will need to set up an account. **
