- If an item is not immediately available, use our Interlibrary Loan service; we can get/borrow things from other libraries for you.
- If you need the item right away, it is worth two quick Google searches (plain Google& Google Scholar) to see if there is a way to locate it (or more information about it) on the free web. Or, a librarian can help you determine if it is at a nearby library.
