China Faculty

I am a faculty member teaching in China at Sias or SNU, what library services are available to me and my students?

Many of Forsyth Library's services and resources are available to you from abroad. Please visit the Library Guide for Faculty Teaching in China to learn about specific recommendations for accessing library services from China. 

Interlibrary Loan

What do I do if I want a specific article or book but Forsyth doesn't have it? 

Interlibrary Loan is a service provided to FHSU faculty, staff, and students who need access research materials that are not owned by Forsyth Library or that are physically located in Forsyth that you need access to from a distance. Simply create an ILL account, submit and ILL request, and we'll work to get the item to you.

If you wish to request the purchase of a permanent resource for the library's collection such as a book, journal subscription, or a dvd, please use the Purchase Request Form.
