Regional Catalogs -- Your Next Choice
E-ZBorrow - 
A self-service system for borrowing books from the libraries of over 50 colleges/universities across PA and neighboring states. Saint Joseph's students, faculty and staff may search the virtual catalog and directly request:
- books that we do not own
- books currently checked out or otherwise unavailable at Saint Joseph's Libraries.
- Note: No journals or journal articles may be requested
WorldCat (via OCLC's FirstSearch interface) is a cooperative database of bibliographic records contributed by 60,000 libraries. More than 100 million global information sources in all formats—books, full text, electronic books and journals, Web-based articles, and audio and video recordings.
Records will clearly specify when a resource is available from SJU (as well as other regional academic institutions). When a resource is not available at SJU or a nearby college/university, you can always submit a request for an Interlibrary Loan.
