LibrarySearch can be used to find items (books, videos, primary source materials, etc.) including government documents and publications that we hold in our collections. Select 'UO + Summit' from the drop-down menu on the right of the search box to include or exclude articles.
Summit (or Orbis Cascade) is a group of academic libraries, including UO, in the Pacific Northwest that have a resource-sharing partnership, so you are able to request items from those libraries, as well.
If you use LibrarySearch and you find that you need something that isn't available in the UO Libraries/Summit collections, you can use Inter-Library Loan (ILL) to request it be borrowed from another institution. This service is free to UO students/staff/faculty and we highly recommend it. The link below will walk you through the steps of submitting your request. Physical books are generally delivered with 4-5 days, and you can also request digital scans of a single chapter or article which are generally delivered within 24 hours.
Another option for finding materials not in UO's collections is to use WorldCat. WorldCat provides access to the catalogs of libraries from around the world. The database contains millions of bibliographic records describing books, journals, maps, musical scores, recordings, videos, manuscripts, etc. and can be used to access materials. If you sign in with your UO information, you will be given a link to request an item we don't have through ILL (which will likely take you back to UO's catalog for you to fill out the form).
