Find It @ Tufts and Elsewhere

Not only will the Find IT @ Tufts button help you find what we own it will also help you order your article from another library from Interlibrary loan (ILLiad).

Search WorldCat for books not at Tufts

Remember to search WoldCat if you want to find out what other libraries may have your book. This is especially valuable when you might be working on an obscure topic and want to find out how readily available it is. This also works for titles of journals.

You can also use WorldCat to verify the existence of a book or get the full bibliographic information (author, title, publisher, date).

You can also use it to just put the books you want to use for your paper in your RefWorks account.
