Next, check <a href=\"https:\/\/i-share-dpu.primo.exlibrisgroup.com\/discovery\/search?vid=01CARLI_DPU:CARLI_DPU&amp;lang=en\">LibrarySearch<\/a> to see if you can borrow the book from the DePaul Library or I-Share (our system of Illinois libraries that share books with each other). Before borrowing, keep in mind that books can be checked out for 4 weeks and can\u2019t always be renewed if others are waiting for the same book.<\/p>\n<p><b class=\"ContentPasted0\">Where is the Library?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ContentPasted0 elementToProof\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/library.depaul.edu\/about\/locations\/lincoln-park\/Pages\/default.aspx\">John T.
