About E-ZBorrow
What is E-ZBorrow?

PALCI, the Pennsylvania Academic Library Consortium, Inc, is  a federation of over 70 private and public academic libraries, in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and West Virginia, devoted to development of library cooperation. 

E-ZBorrow is PALCI's self-service system for borrowing books from participating member institutions. Saint Joseph's students, faculty and staff may search the virtual catalog and directly request:

  • books  that we do not own 
  • books currently checked out or otherwise unavailable at Saint Joseph's Libraries.


Note: No journals or journal articles may be requested.

Distance Education students, please note that PALCI books must be picked up at the Drexel Library on Saint Joseph's campus. You are most welcome to use this service as long as you are willing to come in and pick the book(s) up from and then return them to our campus.

When connecting to E-ZBorrow, log in using your:

SJU Username
     Password

Each E-ZBorrow screen includes page-specific instructions to guide you.  If you are a first-time user or are experiencing problems, additional help is available.


 




Why use E-ZBorrow?

Using E-ZBorrow for book requests rather than Saint Joseph's University Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service offers the following advantages: 

  • Requests are sent instantly. 
  • Books currently checked out or otherwise unavailable at Saint Joseph's Libraries may be requested. 
  • You can check the status of your requests directly through E-ZBorrow
  • Faculty may establish direct onsite borrowing for participating member libraries including 9 Delaware Valley libraries.




Problem Connecting ?

Please note: The E-ZBorrow web pages require the use of javascript. Some browsers, including IE 6.0, will need to have the javascript plugin downloaded and installed.

The plug-in can be downloaded for free from Java support at Sun Microsystems:

www.java.com/en/download/windows_automatic.jsp


In addition, please ensure that your browser has javascript enabled.
