Resources for Finding Books

LibrarySearch
Covers items owned by the UO Libraries, regional partners, and articles and other scholarly research materials.
WorldCat
WorldCat provides access to library catalogs from around the world. The database contains millions of bibliographic records describing books, journals, maps, musical scores, recordings, videos, manuscripts, etc.

Google Books
Useful for locating information within books because of its full-text searching ability but it is limited in content (not all books are in Google Books!). The books can then be obtained in the library.
University of Oregon Scholars' Bank
Open access repository for the intellectual work of faculty, students and staff at the University of Oregon and partner institution collections, including theses and dissertations.

Borrowing from other libraries

Borrowing from Other Libraries

You have the option to borrow material outside of the University of Oregon through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).

Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

If an item is not available at UO use Interlibrary Loan (ILL). This allows you to borrow material from institutions across the country and, in some rare cases, abroad.

To manually submit an ILL request, use the Interlibrary Loan Request form.

Once the item is available, you will be notified via email.
