Books
- Cofrin Library Catalog
If you are searching for a book and you discover that Cofrin Library does not own it, you can request it through InterLibrary Loan (also called ILL or ILLiad), a service for students to get books and journal articles for other libraries. If you are unfamiliar with using InterLibrary Loan, stop by the reference desk for assistance. - Worldcat
Use the mega-catalog, Worldcat, to find books from other libraries. WorldCat will allow you to search over 15,000 libraries worldwide. Although the Cofrin Library may not own an item that you find in WorldCat, you can submit an interLibrary loan request from right inside the database. It can take from 7-10 days for the item to arrive so it is important that you start your research early to give yourself an opportunity to get the best resources for you research.
