Finding books should start with using the University of Illinois Online Library Catalog. If a particular book or books in your subject area are not available, consult the I-Share Catalog. The I-Share catalog is a central catalog for CARLI, a library consortium composed of over 65 Illinois libraries, of which the University of Illinois is a member. If you cannot find your book in either of these catalogs, consult WorldCat--a catalog of thosands of libraries worldwide.
