Tredway Databases A-Z
Complete list of Tredway databases. Depending on your chosen genre of reporting, you may want to filter by subject to see resources specific to your area.

OneSearch provides a simple way to search for books, eBooks, videos, articles, digital media, and more, all in one place. In the search box above, you will see a drop-down list of options for filtering your search. To find books and articles, you have several options:

Tredway resources (Library holdings + Articles): This is the default option which searches all of the library's physical and electronic resources (books, eBooks, videos, journal/magazine articles, and electronic references sources). This search also includes items in Special Collections and the Swenson Center.
Everything (Library holdings + Articles + I-Share): This option searches across everything, including articles from our databases, as well as books available to us through the I-Share service.
All I-Share Libraries: This option searches all resources available from the I-Share network of libraries across Illinois. This option is great for getting books. To request I-Share materials, you will need to be logged in using your regular Augustana credentials. Items usually arrive in 3-5 days after submitting a request.
Articles only: This option searches for journal articles, magazine articles, newspapers articles, and electronic reference material across our databases.

Find Resources with Interlibrary Loan

Submit or view an Interlibrary Loan request

If you are unable to locate resources for your research from either the local or I-Share catalogs, you also have the option to request items through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). ILL enables access and delivery of materials held by other libraries around the world. This service is free of charge to students, faculty, and staff of the College. It is not available to non-Augustana users.

There are three ways to request materials from other libraries:

Use the request form directly on ILLIAD.
Use the ILLiad request button within OneSearch to request materials.
Search for and request the item from WorldCat to borrow materials from libraries around the world.

Once a request is received, library staff members will search for the item and attempt to obtain it from another library. Articles and book chapters are delivered to your email as a PDF within 24-48 hours. Physical items (books, DVDs, scores, etc.) typically take 5-10 business days (does not include weekends) to arrive from the lending library.

For more information about ILL, call 309-794-7585.
