Famous People

Books

  • Use the Library Catalog to search for your famous person to see if we have any specific titles within our library.

    • Request the book by logging into your student account, or talking to one of the library staff members

  • If we do not you can use Google or other methods to search for books

  • When you locate a book you think you want search for the title using Access PA

    • When doing this search it is important to see how many libraries own this book

    • If it is less than 10, it may be difficult to get -- The more owning libraries, the more likely they are to let the book be borrowed by another library

  • When you decide you want to request the book, use the form above

    • Fill out all of the information you can find

      • You won't have an DOI, Article Title, Journal Title, etc.

  • The library staff will request the book for you

  • If/When it arrives, we will send you an email on your student account to come pick up the book

    • Because this is a bigger project with lots of requests, we will not put the book directly in your homeroom teacher's mailbox

  • BE SURE TO KEEP TRACK OF YOUR DUE DATE! It is important for us to get these back to the loaning libraries on time and in good condition so they continue to allow us to borrow their books
