CARLI I-Share

The Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois (CARLI) includes over 150 libraries in the state of Illinois.

76 of these member libraries have joined together to create the I-Share network committed to sharing both a network system and library resources. Current students, faculty, and staff of Northern Seminary may borrow materials directly from any other I-Share library.

Placing an online request in I-Share is the quickest way to request materials from another library.
