Inter-Library Loan is the service that gives you access to resources at other libraries. When you've searched Union College Libraries catalog and databases and we don't have what you need, our free Inter-Library borrowing service is your best bet.

Here's how:

1. To determine whether or not the College Libraries offer what you are looking for, check the EDS Discovery tool  before requesting material from other libraries.


2. To do an exploratory search for books beyond what the Library owns, search Worldcat.org
