If the MTSU Libraries don't have a book you need, we can probably get it for you for free through Interlibrary Loan.
You don't need to know which library has a book in order to use Interlibrary Loan. We will figure that out for you. However, if you check Worldcat and find that several local libraries own the item you need, you can assume that the book will come more quickly than if only a few distant libraries own it.
Many thanks to Karen Dearing for creating this guide.
