Not finding what you need through Butler Library Search? This guide will walk through the process of search for items that we do not own through WorldCat and requesting those materials from other libraries through interlibrary Loan.
Step 1
Navigate to https.butler.edu/library/
Step 2
Type in your keywords or the title of the item you are looking for and click the search icon.
Step 3
If you know that you are looking for materials that Butler University Libraries do not own, click on the down menu for "Research tools" and then select "WorldCat, Google Scholar, and more"
Step 4
You can also scroll down to the bottom of the search results page, to find the WorldCat search box. You can either select a particular title or select the "Search all results" button to open a new search in WorldCat.
Step 5
Once you have found an item that you would like to request from other libraries, click the "request through Interlibrary Loan" button.
Step 6
Make sure to enter a date in the "Please cancel if not filled by: (mm/dd/yyyy) (required)" field.
Step 7
Once you have confirmed that all of the auto-filled information was correct, select "Submit request".
