Using Other Libraries

Many states now offer online library resources to all state residents. Find out if your state offers these services, or use the Internet Public Library.

If you live near a college, university or public library, you may be able to use resources through them, but the Harold B. Lee Library does not have agreements with any library to provide BYU Independent Study students special privileges.
