If you need a book from Bryn Mawr or Haverford, just click on the REQUEST button. Books usually arrive within 24 hours. If a book is checked out at all three libraries, click on EZ-BORROW/ILL. EZ-BORROW allows you to look for books in our regional library system and place requests. It usually takes 3-5 days. ILL lets staff look it up for you and takes 5-10 days.

WorldCat allows you to look at catalogs from all over the world. You can have them sent here to you via ILL.

 

 

 

 

Finding Articles is similiar to finding books, just substitute descriptors and/or index terms for subject headings. Also use BOOLEAN connectors (AND, OR, NOT) to search with two terms, widen your search, and narrow your search, respectively.

The political science subject page is the best place to start your research.
