WorldCat Local

WorldCat Local, now at the top of the Lamar Soutter Library “Quick Links” list, allows you to search the Lamar Soutter collection, the Boston Library Consortium's collections, and the collections of many other libraries worldwide at one time. Most importantly, WorldCat Local will allow you to order books from the Boston Library Consortium Libraries (BLC) or from Interlibrary Loan (ILL) through one seamless interface. Faculty and staff who are registered (i.e., who have an active LSL barcode) with the library are eligible to order material through WorldCat Local. Books from the 19 Boston Library Consortium members (including Brown, Boston University, Boston College, UNH and U Conn) are free! Watch this space for information about training sessions coming up before the end of the year.
