Reciprocal Library Privileges for Elmhurst University Students, Faculty, and Staff
Elmhurst University Library is member of the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois (CARLI). This membership means that those with an active Jaypass may visit any of the I-Share member libraries and utilize their resources in keeping with the current I-Share member resource sharing code and that library's circulation rules.
In addition, you may have privileges with some libraries through Reaching Across Illinois Library System (RAILS).
Reciprocal Library Privileges for Visiting Patrons
The following libraries have an agreement with the Elmhurst University library that allows their patrons to borrow books from Elmhurst University. All RAILS library card holders high school age and older may check out two books every visit. They must present a valid Library card from their home library and have a registration card on file with us (cards are available at our circulation desk).
Elmhurst University library also has agreements with many college libraries throughout the state that are members of the CARLI consortium and LIBRAS consortium. These patrons simply need to show a valid ID from their institution and be in their home school’s database. There is no limit as to how many books they may check out.
