Print Resources

What if I need access to a print resource?

If you need a physical item (book, DVD, etc.), not available as an eresource, the library staff will work to deliver the items to your campus mailbox and/or dorm room. Please fill out the request a book to be shipped at: https://lib.cairn.edu/book_ups and use your mail box number and dorm room for the mailing address.

How long will it take to receive the book to an off-campus address?

E-Resources

How can I access electronic resources while off campus?

Ensure you are logged in to your Cairn Gmail account.  You may do this through your regular browser or a privacy browser.

Search for e-resources by title on the Library website and/or utilize database searches.

To ensure you can go back to your resource, be sure to use the permalink, NOT the URL in the search bar.
