Do you have a Library barcode?

The library barcode serves as your Pace Library Card.  If you do not have a barcode yet, you can get one by e-mailing barcodes@pace.edu Be sure to include your name and U number in the message. 

When you find an article listed in a database, and the article is not immediately available to read, use the Search for Item button to search Pace's periodical holdings. If you get a message that directs you to use the ILLiad Interlibrary Loan service to request a copy of the article, follow the link.

• Articles (pdf files/photocopies) can take anywhere from 24 hours to a few days to obtain.
• Books, conference proceedings and other documents are also available for request and can be picked up at your home campus Library.
