To identify books on your
subject outside the Washington-Idaho Network, you
may search
WorldCat database. WorldCat is a shared
catalog of library holdings. It searches more than
50
million records in the holdings of participating member
libraries across North America and around
the world.
Please note that the
library with the item you request may charge to loan it,
and you will be
responsible for any charges. We always try to
borrow from libraries that don't charge, but
depending on the uniqueness of the item, that may not be
an option. On the
Form for
Requesting
Materials,
you may stipulate whether you will pay charges, should
that be required, and how
much you are willing to pay.

If the article you would like
to read is not available online or in print at the LCSC
Library, you may
order a copy from another library. As with the
books, the library with the article you request
may charge to send a copy, and you will be responsible
for any charges. We always try to order
from libraries that don't charge, but depending on the
uniqueness of the item, that may not be
an option. On the
Form for Requesting Materials, you may stipulate
whether you will pay charges,
should that be required, and how much you are willing to
pay.
