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.
