• Reference Books offer both basic information and concise overviews of topics in physical therapy and related areas. 
• These books stay in the library, but you are welcome to photocopy articles for your research papers.

Find Electronic Books on a wide range of topics including specialized nursing and computing collections. You can access these anywhere you have an internet connection. Just use your SID to log in off campus.

I recommend the online collection in ProQuest Ebook Central for physical therapy subjects.

Using the Interlibrary Loan Service

InterLibrary Loan: No library has it all! But the InterLibrary Loan (or ILL) is a service offered by Holman Library for borrowing books and articles from other libraries. 

For your research it is important to search many places.

• First, start with the books and articles available through the Holman Library.

• Then, If you find books and articles that the Library does NOT have access to, just request them through Interlibrary Loan.

• Using Interlibrary Loan increases the amount of resources available to you and helps you become a more thorough researcher.

Note:

• Books and other items that require mailing may take 1-2 weeks.

• Articles and other digital items may arrive within 2-5 days. Use your email as your contact info and the article will be sent directly to you.
