World Cat

WWW.worldcat.org is a gobal network of library content that is available to help patrons find that book...not matter what!It functions similiar to Gale research library, but the neat thing is that it accesses local academic sources that people can drive to go get when they need a book right away. You can search by keyword, title, etc., and then can limit your search further. When you click on your desired source it will list all of the local Denver and surrounding libraries where the item is available. Thank you to Kathleen Rainwater for teaching a recent reference class and including it as a helpful avenue to follow when someone needs something right away. It is a great way to get that book for a patron, no matter what!
