Finding Books
MnPALS
Our library catalog. This link takes you into the "Basic Searches" screen where you can search by author, title, etc. The "Advanced Searches" option lets you limit by date, additional keywords, collection area, and so on. In your list of results, the Location column lists the call number--where the book is shelved. You can also choose other libraries to search from this catalog and ask for books through interlibrary loan (ILL).
WorldCat
An international shared library catalog with over 50 million items. Many of these materials will be obscure and/or rare and may not be available through interlibrary loan. However, if you're seeking a particular book, this catalog will tell you how many libraries have it - which may give you an idea of its significance as well as whether it is likely to be available through interlibrary loan.
