Tripod - For locating books, journals, and other materials held in the Tri-College libraries. Deliveries within the Trico usually arrive in one or two days. Use "Request" button. You can mark and then email or print records for multiple items.

WorldCat - An important place to look for many materials not owned by the Tri-College Libraries. This combined library catalog contains more than 49 million records describing items owned by libraries around the world. Many of these items are available to you though interlibrary loan.

Dissertations

Doctoral students go through an exhaustive literature search when writing their dissertations. They also tend to work on new questions, sometimes ones that have received very little attention from scholars before. You can sometimes obtain these dissertations and benefit from all the bibliographic treasures and new ideas.

Check Dissertation Abstracts Online to identify dissertations on your topic. Then request them through the Interlibrary Loan page. Some dissertations are not available in multiple copies and cannot be loaned.  If you run into that problem, get in touch with me.  I may be able to buy a copy for Magill Library.
