Joyner ILL or Laupus ILL?
Due to the way Joyner Library and Laupus Library are funded and the way ECU is organized administratively,
Can I visit and use both libraries?
Yes, all members of the ECU community, from all divisions and programs, may visit and use materials in both Joyner Library and Laupus Library, including databases, reference and journal collections, and circulating collections. If you have not registered with the circulation departments of both libraries before, you will need to do so before checking materials out from that library. Registration is quick and free for current ECU students, faculty, and staff -- just remember to take your PirateID with you.
Can I request materials from both libraries via Interlibrary Loan?
It depends on which library is your primary library.
- Laupus Library patrons can request materials from both Joyner Library and Laupus Library via Laupus' ILLiad. There is a processing fee charged for this service.
- Joyner Library patrons can request materials from Laupus Library via Joyner ILLiad without charge. Only Distance Education (DE) patrons and Educator Card patrons are allowed to request materials from Joyner Library.
To make a request for materials, please visit the appropriate library's site: Joyner or Laupus.
I'm still confused -- which library do I use? What programs are in the Division of Health Sciences?
If you are unsure if you are in the Division of Health Sciences and thus should use Laupus Library, please consult the list below of programs within the Division of Health Sciences.
