If you are unable to find the item you are looking for in the CF Library's resources, there are several options available to you. UBorrow, statewide reciprocal borrowing between the 28 Florida colleges and 12 public universities, allows students and the college community to check out physical items. Your CF ID card is your library card for any of these institutions.

Books & other physical items

When searching within the library catalog, you have the option to search the CF/Library catalog or the statewide catalog which allows you to search the collections of all state colleges and universities. If an item is not available through the CF Library, search the statewide catalog, click on the item title to reach the details page for that item, and, if the item is available through another institution, you will see the 'How to get it' option.

Click through and fill out the 'UBorrow Request' form.

Please note that eBooks from other institutions cannot be borrowed.

Articles

If there is an article or a book that you cannot request through UBorrow, fill out the Interlibrary Loan Request Form, which can be found under Faculty/Student Specific Forms at inside.cf.edu. The Library will obtain a copy for you, if possible, from another library. Please note that the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) process can take a week or two, depending on which library is filling the request. Typically article requests are filled more quickly, within a day or two.
