If the O'Malley Library does not have what you are looking for, you can use Interlibrary Loan (ILL) to get books and periodical articles from other libraries. It can take up to two weeks to receive your material.
For books not in JasperCat, if you use the "Request It! (ILL)" link directly from WorldCat search, then information about the item you want us to borrow will be transferred over to your ILL request.
