If you go to:
DOCUMENTATION AND PUBLICATIONS
you will note a section called:
University level user-friendly resources: UC Systemwide sample
See: LIBRARIES for access and overview information.
Within this section is:
FIRSTSEARCH
OCLC databases and catalog
The WorldCat section of this site has
current connections to over 17,000 OCLC
libraries worldwide and over 38,000,000
[38 million items]. A brief study of the record
database indicates that approximately 25%-50%
or more of the non-circulating book collection, as
well as many of the microform collections,
in the SLC LDC FHC, are in this OCLC system.
If you can access FIRSTSEARCH from a
local resouce center and use Interlibrary loan
facilities, you will find you may make a
tremendous savings in time, talent, means
and effective effort in your research projects.
Additionally, there are many rare and more
expensive scholarly resources that can be
obtained via this route that are NOT in the
SLC LDS Library.
Since the loan
system obtains records from any depository site that
will offer a book/microform for transport, there is a good
possibility that you will be able to find what you want
delivered locally. This can be, for example, from
Princeton Univeristy Library, Seattle, Washington,
or somewhere in the State of Virginia, all in the same
shipment.
