As the new semester approaches, everyone at the UIS library is excited to welcome our new and returning students with a series of events:
Chill & Check it Out
If you're looking to make some connections on the first day of classes, come to the library and enjoy some games, crafts, or our library spaces at our open house from 5pm to 7pm on Friday, August 22nd!
Why do I get a warning that my connection may be insecure when attempting to use a database?
When attempting to log into EZproxy to access a database, if your browser gives a warning that your connection may be insecure you may be able to fix it by clearing your browser data and cache. You may be logged out of websites after clearing your browser data.
Why am I getting an error trying to access Google Scholar?
When trying to access Google Scholar, you may sometimes run into the following error: "ERROR for site owner: Invalid domain for site key" or "Please show you're not a robot." This can happen when too many people are accessing Google Scholar through our proxy server. There are two ways to bypass this error:
Option 1: Use Google Scholar without our proxy server address
Who is eligible to use Interlibrary Loan (ILL)?
Currently enrolled students, faculty (both current and emeritus), and staff of UIS.

Where is the archives and where do I park?
Archives/Special Collections and IRAD are located in Brookens Library, Room 144. This room is located on Level 1, next to the Information Technology Client Services(ITS) area. Once you enter the doors to the ITS area, Archives is located to your right.
Brookens Library is in the center of campus and Parking Lot B, on the east side of campus, is the best place for visitors to park. We also have several handicapped parking spots and 2 metered parking spots available near the library. To access these you will turn from Eliza Farnham Drive onto University Plaza.
Where is my classroom? My course list says my class is in Brookens Library.
Brookens Library is located in only half of the building. The other half of the building is comprised of classrooms and offices. You can access the classroom side of the building through the elevator on the second floor, also known as the main floor, on the East side of the building. You can also access the classroom side through the stairwell, on the East side of the building.
If the elevator is out of service, come to the Main Desk and we will assist you with accessing the classroom side of the building.
Where is BRK 230A?
This is our big classroom on the main floor (2nd) of the library side of Brookens. If you are wanting to book this room for a class, please see our space request page.
From the main entrance of the library, make a slight right and navigate to the left-hand side of the Feature Film shelves.
Where do I sign up for CINRC workshops?
Upcoming workshops are listed on the CINRC calendar. All workshops require registration due to their popularity and limited seating. You can find more information on a workshop, as well as a registration link, by clicking on its calendar entry.
