Your guide to finding poetry and resources about poetry

What if the Library doesn't have the book or article I need?

What if you want to search beyond the SMC Library's collections?

Or what if you search for a book or article in Library Search and it says SMC doesn't have it? 

 

1. In Library Search, click "search using Interlibrary Loan" to check other libraries' holdings:

 

below search box, "search using interlibrary loan" is highlighted

 

2. Then, when you see the book or article you're looking for, click "Get it for me from other libraries":

 

Below a search results, "Get it for me from other libraries" is highlighted

 

3. Under "Get it from other locations," you'll see an option to have the entire book sent to you at SMC (which can take a few days, or a couple weeks), or to have an article or single chapter sent to you digitally (within 24 hours).
