Kansas State Library Catalog -- You can use the "request this item" button to send a request and the book will be delivered to Memorial Library.
WorldCat -- This is an enormous database combining most of the academic libraries in the U.S. When you locate an item, use the ILL button to place a request.
NOTE: Allow 1-2 weeks for the librarians to locate a copy of the item. You'll receive an email notification when the item is ready to be picked up. We reserve the right to charge a fine $1/day for an overdue interlibrary loan item. Users are responsible for the replacement costs of any lost/damaged item.
