To best support our users’ needs and accommodate difficulties due to construction of a new Learning Commons in the Main Library this summer, the University Libraries have extended for another year the following due dates for long-term loans:

Faculty loans that have not been recalled are now due June 3, 2013.
Graduate loans that have not been recalled are now due June 26, 2013.

Any books with shorter loans (i.e., 4 week loans) are still due on their original date.

If you have questions about due dates, you can check My Books on Loan from the Business Library’s website. You may also contact Library staff at 319-335-3077.

These books from the Business Library’s general collection have been loaned and recently returned. Books appear in order by call number. Readers can use the list to see which subjects are popular or used for research.

Safari Books is now available on a trial basis from the University of Iowa Libraries (trial period ends May 4 2012):

“In July, 2001, two of the world’s most prominent technology publishers, O’Reilly Media, Inc. and The Pearson Technology Group, joined forces to create Safari Books Online. The premise was simple: compile the best technology books from the leading authors and publishers into an on-demand digital library that technology, digital media and creative professionals could quickly and easily search for reliable, definitive answers to mission-critical questions.”

Receive the exact materials you need more quickly!

Together with 12 other university libraries in the Midwest and the Center for Research Libraries, the University of Iowa Libraries is proud to announce a new service called UBorrow that offers fast access to over 90 million books. Books requested via UBorrow typically are available within a week and are checked out for 12 weeks, with a four-week renewal option.

Iowa faculty, students and staff can search UBorrow directly. A UBorrow search option is also available in Smart Search and InfoLink. UBorrow checks the UI Libraries’ catalog for an available copy before checking other libraries’ catalogs in real time and placing a request directly with the other libraries. If a book is not available through UBorrow, faculty, staff and students can still place a traditional interlibrary loan request and UI Libraries staff will try to obtain it from another library.

Who is loaning the books in UBorrow?

The 13 CIC libraries as well as the Center for Research Libraries will be lending books through UBorrow. The CIC consists of University of Chicago, University of Illinois, Indiana University, University of Michigan, Michigan State University, University of Minnesota, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Northwestern University, Ohio State University, Pennsylvania State University, Purdue University, and University of Wisconsin-Madison. The proximity of these partners, as well as commitments made by each library, allow books to be delivered through UBorrow far more rapidly than when they are requested via traditional interlibrary loan.
