For books, book chapters, DVDs, and other media, check the library catalog. 

For journal articles, search for the journal title in BrowZine.

Theses and dissertations may be found in the library catalog or one of our relevant databases. 

For music scores, consult the library's music scores and sheet music guide. 

Books and articles can also be requested through WorldCat. If the library does not own the resource, a Request Item through Interlibrary Loan icon will appear. This icon will automatically transfer you to your interlibrary loan account

Woodward Library offers interlibrary loan services for alumni.

Before requesting an item through interlibrary loan, alumni will need to request to the APSU Alumni Library Portal. To do this, fill out Alumni Access Request Form. 

To check out books and other physical interlibrary loan materials, alumni will need an APSU library courtesy card. Courtesy cards can be applied for at the Access Assistance Desk located on the 2nd (main) floor of the library. A photo I.D. (driver's license, military I.D., etc.) is required for registration. Courtesy card holders must be at least 18 years of age. Please note: after 9 p.m. the library is open only to currently enrolled APSU students and APSU faculty and staff. Library hours, including during holidays and intersessions, are posted on the library website.
