Q. Hi, I'm trying to track down a copy of a book which we do not seem to own. What should I do next?

We now use WorldCat for InterLibrary Loan.  Go to the Library's web site and search for your book in WorldCat.  First it will tell you that Ship does not own the book (as you know).  However the item is listed.  If you click on "Request Via InterLibrary Loan" Worldcat will start up an ILLIAD session allowing you to request the book from another library.
