To discover print books available beyond F&M:

• Follow the steps above, but change the location to: Libraries Worldwide.  Then:
• On the results page, select:
  • Format: Print book--because we can borrow print books (but not ebooks) from other libraries...
  • At the top of the page, next to the number of results, there is a pop-up menu: select Relevance Only
  • If you discover books not available at F&M but of interest to you:
    • search EZ BORROW to determine if you could borrow books from
      a nearby library.
    • If the book is not available via EZ Borrow, use the Interlibrary Loan
      (or "ILL") service.

To request print books to which we do not have immediate access, use E-ZBorrow 

To request articles or books/book chapters or other materials not available at F&M, use Interlibrary Loan/ILL
