IntraSystem Loan allows students, faculty, and staff to request books or journal articles from a library within the UH system. See the Loans from Other Libraries page for information about requesting items not available at any of the libraries in the UH System.

• $1.00 per item is charged if a book or journal article is not picked up. $3.00 per item will be charged if an A/V or microform item is not picked up. These fees apply to everyone: undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, and staff.
• Audiovisual materials from Sinclair must be requested at least two weeks prior to the date needed.
• NEW! Items received can be held for a maximum of only 3 days, but will now have a loan period of 7 days and up to 5 items.

To request an item available at another UH library, follow these steps:

To request an item, select All UH Libraries in under Quick Limits.

Search for the book, AV material, or journal.
