Area Research Libraries
Search other Libraries using Worldcat
The recommended tool to search the collections of research libraries in the NYC Metro Area and the world is OCLC's worldcat.org service. Use the Find-it at CUNY Link to request items you find in worldcat.org using our ILLiad Interlibrary system.
Don't forget the ISBN - If you request a book or film using ILLiad make sure the item's ISBN number is included in your submission if it is listed in the item's record. This will substantially speed up the processing of your request.
