What is PALCI E-ZBorrow?
The Pennsylvania Academic Library Consortium, Inc. (PALCI) E-ZBorrow lets you simultaneously search the catalogs of over 50+ academic libraries, and directly request and borrow books not available at the Paul J. Gutman Library. E-ZBorrow is currently not available for requesting journals or photocopies of journal/newspaper articles. Your requested books arrive at Gutman Library usually within 3 to 5 business days. Once notified by email, books can be picked up at the Gutman Library Circulation Desk.
