When I search for material, I see a blue UBorrow tab at the top of the page. What is it and how is it different than ILL? (Medical Library)*

UBorrow is similar to ILL in that it is a service for bringing material into FAU from an outside source. You will receive an email when material arrives and they will be kept at the Circulation desk for pickup anytime during library hours. The difference is that UBorrow allows you to directly request materials from participating libraries within Florida’s state university/college library system. Material tends to be delivered more quickly but the drawback is that only hard copy materials may be requested at this time. If you are searching for an article, UBorrow may not be the best option.

UBorrow also is accessible with your Owl Card barcode and does not require you to sign up for an account.
