Search the Library Catalog
The W&L library catalog lists books (and other materials) in Leyburn Library, Telford Science Library, and the Law Library.
The preferred method for searching Annie probably would be the Keyword option, which allows you to combine terms and/or to search for various forms of a term.
You can use an asterisk (*) in Keyword searching to substitute for 1 to 5 characters, thus allowing you to expand a search.
Example: environment* will find environment, environmental, environmentally, environmentalist, etc.
Here are some sample searches:
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) enables current W&L undergraduate students, faculty, and staff to use other libraries' collections to borrow books or other printed materials and/or receive electronic copies of articles.
You can discover books (and other materials) not available in W&L libraries by using the WorldCat database, which contains the holdings of hundreds of library catalogs.
Enter relevant terms or names in the box below.
Or, if you would like to try a more complex search, use WorldCat's Advanced Search capability.
W&L researchers can request most items found in WorldCat via Interlibrary Loan (see below).
Doctoral dissertations are not published books, but can be considered book-length scholarly studies.
W&L subscribes to a database which offers the complete texts of over 1 million dissertations and theses.
Described as "the world's most comprehensive collection of dissertations and theses," this database contains over 2.7 million citations to dissertations and theses from around the world, dating back to 1861. About 1.2 million items are provided in full-text (PDF) form.
