If you are an FGCU student, staff, or faculty member, you can request books and articles from other libraries at no charge to you.
 

Search for the item you are looking for (books, articles, or videos) in Eagle Search (search box always available on the library homepage).

 
If your item does not appear in the first few results, it is probably not available from the FGCU Library. Click on the link near the top of the search results that says "expand your search". This will search through other libraries.

If the item is located in that search, you will see a link to  "Get it for me from other libraries"

Sign in with your FGCU email and password if you are not already signed in to Eagle Search.

If it is a book, you can request a physical copy to be sent to FGCU.

If it is an article, you can request a digital copy to be sent to your Eagle Search account.

If your item doesn't show, click on "Still didn't find what you need? Click here to send a request" and fill out the Resource Sharing form.
