Requests for Books from WorldCat

Current Dominican University student, faculty or staff members may request materials through WorldCat.  Please first attempt to locate materials in I-Share.  If needed materials are not held at an CARLI library, please follow these directions to find the book in WorldCat and have it sent to the Rebecca Crown Library through interlibrary loan.

Follow these steps:

1. Select WorldCat from the list of databases provided on the library's website.
2. Search for the book you want by title, author, or keyword.
3. Click on the "Libraries Worldwide" link in the record of the desired item.
4. Click on the "ILL" icon at the top left of your screen.
5. Type in the information requested (Required fields are marked with an asterisk [*] and labeled in red) .
6. Click the "Submit" button. (If you change your mind, you may click on the "Cancel" button to nullify the request.) Your request will then be sent to the Interlibrary Loan Department. All bibliographic information for the requested item will automatically be included.
7. Click on "Exit" in the top right hand corner of your screen.
