Locating Books in the Library

If It's Not at the Library

  • Book checked out by someone else? Ask for a recall
  • In a hurry? Get a BLC card and borrow the book from a nearby academic library - use WorldCat to find which libraries own it
  • Have a little more time? Request the book from another library through InterLibrary Loan (ILL)
