ONLINE CATALOGS

SWAN
Catalog of our library system.

I-Share (formerly Illinet Online)
I-Share is the online catalog for 65 college and university libraries in Illinois.

Statewide Illinois Library Catalog (SILC)
Illinois' first all inclusive statewide union catalog that integrates WorldCat and the Illinois Library Systems' local consortial OPACs to provide both shelf status and interlibrary loan capabilities in a single searchable interface. SILC resides on the familiar FirstSearch platform as an additional WorldCat database that allows users to scope to regional groups within Illinois, as well as by type of library. From a single WorldCat record, users will be able to link to a local shared catalog record to see if and where an item is available for loan. Call the Reference Desk at 630/887-8760 ext. 240 for an authorization and password.
