WorldCat is a global library catalog that helps you find books at libraries near your location—this is especially helpful for online or off-campus students.

To use it:

1. Go to worldcat.org.

2. Type the book title, author, or keywords in the "Items" search bar.

3. If you add and sort by your location, WorldCat will show you which nearby libraries have the book, starting with the one closest to your location. 

4. From the results list, you may add other filters, including print or ebook, author's full name, publication year, and more.
