Library Services for Staff

You will need to have your Alliant OneCard activated to use your library account.

With your library account you can:

• Check out books, dissertations, videos/DVDs, laptops, proxima projectors and other library materials.
• Access e-journals, e-books and our research databases available through our library catalog.
• Place holds on or page items in the Alliant library system to be picked up at your home library when available. Items may take at least 4 days to arrive.
• Request books from one of the many LINKplus libraries, both public and academic, to be picked up at any Alliant or LINKplus library. Items may take 4-7 days to arrive.
• Check out books directly from participating LINKplus Libraries as a Visiting Patron. You may also use Pick-up Elsewhere for your convenience.
• Login to your My Library Account for books currently checked out, renew your items, check the status of requested books, fines and view your contact information.
• Request Interlibrary Loan of books and journals not owned by the Alliant Library. Requests through Interlibrary Loans can take 7-28 days depending on the location of the loaning library.
• Suggest an item for the library to purchase.
• To get a library account, bring your Alliant ID card to your library location on campus.
