Research Guides: ENL 520 Seminar in Literature Fall 2021: Catharine Maria Sedgwick: Library Research Tool Tip #2: What To Do When What You Want to Read is Not Held at Berry Library

Option One: Use Interlibrary Loan to Request an Item from Another Library

Though you will find many helpful books and articles in the Berry Library Collections - print and virtual - you will occasionally find resources Berry Library does not own.
Do not despair!
Berry Library can request a photocopy of articles from other libraries. It can borrow books for you to read.
The link above will show what information you need to supply.
Be sure to have your Clipper Card ready. The barcode on the back of the card is your Berry Library card number.

Google
Google's powerful search capabilities allow users to track down full-text of articles on faculty web sites and other scholarly repositories.

Good to know: It is standard practice of Berry Library's Interlibrary Loan staff to check Google for requested journal articles before submitting interlibrary loan requests.This procedure expedites student ILL requests.
