Try the following:

DePaul WorldCat Local
You can request items from DePaul, I-Share libraries, and libraries worldwide using DePaul WorldCat Local. You will see request options from each when available.
I-Share
Search the holdings of 84+ academic libraries in Illinois. Request and have books sent here for free. Many libraries are local, so you may also get the book directly from the library. You must register for your I-Share account before placing your first request; click the Login button in the upper right corner of the page linked above to begin the process. You will need your library ID number for this account; locate this 14-digit number that begins with 20511 on the back of your DePaul ID above the barcode.

InfoPass

The InfoPass System allows DePaul students to visit libraries where access is not normally granted. A reference librarian from the other library must certify eligibility before an InfoPass will be issued. Often an InfoPass will only be granted if the library is the only Chicago area library owning the materials or if materials are not available through interlibrary loan. Call 773.325.7863 for more information.
