1: WorldCat Discovery search box - use when searching for books, articles, videos, and more all at once

2: Databases (alphabetical or by subject) - covering many topics and formats for more focused searches

3: Journals A-Z - to check for access to a specific journal

4: LibGuides (online guides) - for help with many topics

5: Interlibrary Loan - use when you need to borrow items from other libraries (see box at right)

You have access to many articles, books, videos, and more through the library.  However, if you need an item that is not available through the library, you can request it through Interlibrary Loan.  (You should not need to buy anything on your own.)  

If you find an item you need that is not available through the library, click on the button which will prompt you to log in to your Interlibrary Loan account and you can submit the request (which should be filled out for you once you log in).
