Get Help Online
Use our Ask a Librarian service for general assistance with Libraries resources. Email, live chat, texting, and tweeting are all available during varying hours. We are committed to expanding our ability to assist you online, but please understand that delayed responses may occur based on staff availability during this uncertain time.
E-Resources
Purdue Libraries has an expansive catalog on e-resources covering all disciplines represented at the University. Please explore our catalogs and A-Z Database for journals, databases, tools, and programs that you can use to further your academic studies, teaching, or research while you are away from campus.
If you encounter difficulty accessing an e-resource, please submit a support ticket.

Course Reserves
We are currently revising our Course Reserve Request Form for instructors who wish to place Libraries materials on hold for student use. Currently, it is advisable to assign and direct students to e-resources whenever possible. All circulation and scanning of print resources, including course reserves, has been suspended.
Remote Librarian Consultations
Our liaison librarians are available for remote consultations with faculty, staff, and students via phone, email, or (in some cases) video conferencing. Please locate your librarian by subject, and contact them by email to arrange an appointment.
Connecting to Libraries through Boilerkey, VPN, and EZProxy
Please visit our Off-Campus Access page for guidance on connecting to the Purdue Libraries server from a distance. Please leave your Purdue workstation computer turned on when you leave campus to ensure ability to connect remotely.
Interlibrary Loan
Interlibrary Loan remains available to help source journal articles at this time, with restrictions.
Obtaining print materials through ILL is no longer feasible and all scanning services have been suspended.
All ILL shipping methods and deliveries are currently suspended, including those to Purdue Online students.
Books on the ILL hold shelf will remain on hold until the Libraries re-open, and renewals will be discussed at that time, if needed.
Please visit the ILL page for more information.
Renew Materials Online
You may renew most borrowed materials by the due date to extend your current loan period.
Returning Materials
We are extending the due dates for all currently loaned items and are not charging overdue fines. Please keep any library materials you have at this time.
