Using Library Resources
Library Tutorials and Search Guides
ODU's libraries offer several online tutorials and how-to guides at http://www.lib.odu.edu/libassist/tutorials.

Online Library Resources
You may use the links on the library home page at http://www.lib.odu.edu to get to a wealth of research databases, online journals, electronic course reserve materials and many more resources.

Interlibrary Loan & Document Delivery Service
The ODU Libraries facilitate your research by sending to you items from their collections and also obtaining items from libraries elsewhere. You may go to http://www.lib.odu.edu/services/illiad/ to register for this service and submit requests for specific items. Alternately, you may print a request form at http://www.lib.odu.edu/distance/deillfrm.txt. Library staff will send journal articles directly to you and will send books to your site for pick-up. In nearly all cases, this is a free service.

You may view other library catalogs (in state and around the world) at http://www.lib.odu.edu/resources/catalogs.
