If you are looking for a specific book (or CD or movie) or article, always search Tripod first. No results?
For books/CDs:
First, try EZ-Borrow, which searches for the title at area libraries.
No results in EZ-Borrow? Now try Interlibrary Loan. This process takes longer but pulls from a wider range of libraries.
For articles: If you are unable to find an article by its title, try searching by journal title under the Books & More tab instead—sometimes journals aren't searchable by individual article. Once you've found an article, click the button.
Articles may be available through online journal subscriptions or in print in the library, but if Swarthmore doesn't have access to the journal, you can request a specific article using Article Delivery Request. This may take up to a couple weeks, but, in most cases, we'll be able to locate the article that you're interested in.
You can also access these resource via Tripod's sidebar menu, under Borrowing Beyond TriCo.
