Be sure you've seen our wiki Topic 2, Topic 3, Topic 4, Topic 5, Topic 6 and Topic 7 if you're looking for books in CLC.

If you've already identified an item you want, contact me directly by email to explore options, including OCLC Resource Sharing (InterLibrary Loan): but please bear in mind the following two points:
 * interlibrary loan can take some time to obtain- 2 weeks is not unusual
 * loaning libraries are not likely to loan a book for the entire period of a term (whether 8 weeks, or 16 weeks long). Loans average about 3 weeks, but may be slightly longer or shorter; the loaning library, and not Carroll, makes that decision!
