Library Resources

University of Idaho Library resources are available to ISI students, including electronic journal databases and eBook collections. To gain access to these resources, students can use their Canvas username and password. Students who are Idaho residents and nonresidents who live within a 50-mile radius of the University of Idaho may visit the library to obtain a guest card that is good for one year. Students who cannot visit the U of I Library should contact their local library for information about borrowing materials through interlibrary loan.
