What if McQuade does not have the book or article I need? 

 If we don't have what is needed to support your research, we can interlibrary loan (ILL) materials from other institutions across the country at no charge to you. 

How do I get a library card?

Your MackCard acts as your library card, however, if you did not come in to get your MackCard, we still have you in our library system and you are still able to borrow materials.
