Finding Books

Search the WRLC Catalog to find books that we have here at Catholic University, online (e-books), and within the WRLC. If a book is located at another school in the WRLC, log into SearchBox and click on "Request the book through consortium libraries" to have it sent to Mullen Library Access Services. You will be notified by email once the book arrives.

If the book you want isn't available in the catalog you can submit an Interlibrary Loan request. Put the citation into the form or try searching for it in OCLC WorldCat. After you find the book click on "Request this item through ILL".

Google Books

Google Book Search works just like web search. Try a search on Google Books or on Google.com. When Google Books finds a book with content that contains a match for your search terms, they'll link to it in your search results. Google Books has created reference pages for every book so you can quickly find all kinds of relevant information: book reviews, web references, maps and more.
