Research Tip: Learn more about your Library Accounts

Want to learn more about your Library User Accounts? Each Monmouth College students, staff, or faculty member has two Hewes Library accounts.

1. Library / I-Share Account: Allows patrons to renew items currently checked out and to place requests for books through the I-Share Catalog. You can also maintain a list of favorites in the system.
2. ILLiad Account: Allows patrons to place interlibrary loan requests for articles and print materials that are not available in the I-Share catalog. Electronically received interlibrary loans requests can also be retrieved in a patron's ILLiad account.

Learn more about the differences between the two accounts and how to locate your username and passwords for each account.

Faculty: Don't forget your Course Reserves

If you are a MC faculty member and plan to place items on course reserve, remember that all of our course reserve information is available on our website along with the necessary forms.

Please allow 48 hours for processing. At times of high volume, especially at semester's beginning, processing may take longer. For this reason, we recommend that reserve forms be submitted well in advance of their anticipated date of first use.

Welcome Back to Campus!

Welcome back to all of our returning students, staff, and faculty and hello to all of MC's first year students!  We hope that your first week of classes went well.  If you need to learn more about your library accounts, please visit the Hewes Library homepage or read through the library's help documentation to learn more.
