How do I find and select library books and journals and other information?
PILOT is the
library's catalog. You would use it to locate books and other items in our
collection. Our
Electronic Information Resources page lists nearly 100
different resources you can use to find journal articles and article citations.
Many also provide the full text of the articles themselves or links to the full
text. A librarian can assist you in the selection of the best resource to
find the information you're seeking.
Our Researcher's Toolkit page offers information about
a variety of topics related to the research process.
If I live closer to another PASSHE School, can my books be sent there?
Yes, if you live closer to another institution in the
Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, you can borrow books via UBORROW
(accessible via PILOT) and pick them up at
an institution closer to you.
Can I have library books and other items delivered to my home?
Yes.
Books Direct is a service through which you can have books delivered to
your home. To qualify, you must be a distance education student not enrolled in classes on the
Edinboro campus and you must live 30 miles or more from the Edinboro campus.
For additional requirements and information on this program, visit our
Books Direct page. Note: we are unable to send non-book
items (e.g. videos) via this service. If there is a magazine or journal article available in the Baron-Forness Library that is not accessible to you
electronically off campus, please use the
Request Article form.
I need technical assistance accessing library resources from home. Where can I find solutions to common problems?
Many commonly asked questions are answered on our Researcher's
Toolkit page. You might also want to try our instant messaging service -
