Our Interlibrary Loan department can borrow books and obtain copies of articles from other libraries.  You will need to submit an online request to start the process.

Most photocopies are received within 4 days but can take up to 2 weeks. Most books, or other loaned items, are received within a week but can take up to a month, depending on how far away the lending library is and how responsive they are.

You must complete a renewal request form BEFORE the item is due. If possible, please submit this form online at least five days before the item's due date to allow staff time to contact the lending library and get approval. All requests for renewal are subject to the approval of the lending library. If the item is renewed, you will receive a notice by email and the new due date will also display in your library account page. If you do NOT receive a renewal by the item's due date, please contact the Interlibrary Services office at 501-279-4238 to avoid overdue fees.

Log on to your Library account and select the items you would like to renew and use the "Request Renewal" button. If your items are eligible for renewal, they will be renewed and your new due date will display on the screen. If for some reason, your items are not eligible for renewal, you will see a message displayed at the top of the page that the renewal failed. If the renewal failed, you will need to contact the Circulation Department for more information. Items may only be renewed one time before they have to be returned to the library.

Choose Course Reserves from the menu options on the left hand side of this web site.  Select your teacher's name from the list of instructors, or select the course's name and then click the Search button.  A list of items on reserve for that instructor or course will then display.  There may be both a physical copy and an electronic copy of the item.   To obtain the physical copy, you will need to know the call number of the item and will ask for it at the Circulation Desk.   Follow the link within the record to obtain the electronic copy of the item.
