More Books
Worldcat: Find books in libraries worldwide, and order them via Inter-Library Loan if Hollins does not have them.
TIPS:
- Using www.worldcat.org will sort your results by relevance; using hollins.worldcat.org will put our books first.
- When searching for a person in Worldcat, it helps to add a search term (or two) about who they are/what they do - to sort them out from other people with the same name. Try the following formula for artists, for example:
Kathryn Clark and art*
or use the advanced search:
- keyword: "kathryn clark"
- subject: art*
Google Books contains full text for books in the public domain (pre-1923); partial text for books under copyright.
Very useful for finding out which books contain information on your topic; then you can order them via inter-library loan if Hollins doesn't have them.
