CHECK SWUCAT & PASCALcat FIRST
PASCALcat allows you to find books at most college and university libraries across the state. When you find something you want in PASCALcat, you can click on the "Request item" link and borrow it. The book will be delivered to the main SWU campus. We'll send it to you if you are not taking classes in Central.

Books, Scores, DVDs, etc.
Use WorldCat.org, a large database containing information about nearly any book that has been published as well as many other resources, such as videos, CDs, etc. You can use this catalog to locate information about books (including various editions), and some of the libraries that have a copy.
