PALCI E-ZBorrow

     

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.

How to use PALCI E-ZBorrow?

    Five  easy steps:
  1. Search PhilaFind to determine whether the Library owns the 
    book(s) you need.
  2. If the books are not currently owned by Gutman Library or are currently checked out or otherwise unavailable, use PALCI E-ZBorrow.
  3.  Connect to PALCI E-ZBorrow here
                                
                                   4.  Getting  connected:
  ENTER YOUR ID NUMBER:

When prompted, enter the 14-digit number on the barcode sticker on the back of your PhilaU campus card. Enter the 14-digit barcode  without any spaces between them. If the numbers on the barcode are not visible use your colleague ID number. Go to https://www.philau.edu/security/checkid/ if you need to find your colleague ID number. Drop the initial two zeroes from the colleague ID number when you enter it.

5. Searching:

  After you locate a desired item, select 'Submit Request.'  The PALCI system will choose the best lender out of the available lenders for that item. E-mail updates about the status of your requests are sent promptly.
