I-Share provides access to 75+ libraries in Illinois, so you can request books online for delivery here or visit the library in person and check them out using your Chicago-Kent or IIT ID card.

You will be responsible for all due dates, renewals, and fines for any materials you get through I-Share.

Some libraries send reminders, but you can always find the due dates by checking your account online.

If you do not renew a book or return it on time, you may receive fines from the library where you checked it out. You can't pay I-Share fines through the Downtown Campus Library: you will get a bill from that library directly.

Request Materials Online

You can use the I-Share Catalog to search for items and request them yourself immediately.

Renew Items Online

You can check your account online to see if items have arrived, when they're due, and ask to renew them.
