Find Books at Washington and Lee

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:

  • presiden* AND leadership -- featuring two or more terms, with these results
  • "political parties" AND (partisan* OR polariz*) --using near-synonyms and multi-word terms, with these results 

Interlibrary Loan

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.

Find Books in Other Libraries

You can discover books (and other materials) not available in W&L libraries by using the WorldCat database, which lists 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).
