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.

If you find a print book in DISCOVER to which we do not have immediate access, click on the button in DISCOVER to request the book from another library.

Use EZBorrow (EZB)/Interlibrary Loan (ILL) to request articles, book chapters, books, and other materials not available at F&M.
