What is LINK+?

LINK+ is a book request service. LINK+ allows ULV faculty, students and staff to electronically request a book not available in their own library but available at any of the participating libraries. The books will be couriered to Wilson Library.

NOTE: This is a patron initiated service. It is the responsibility of the patron to make and check the status of their request. Patrons who have an email address in LEOpac will be notified by email when their book is received at Wilson Library.
