If Middlebury does not have the item, request it via Interlibrary Loan (go/ill)
Tip: Worldcat, LibrarySearch, and many library databases include a link to Interlibrary Loan from each item we don't have. Look for the a Request button or links with the words Interlibrary Loan, Illiad, or similar.
Using these embedded links will put the information right into the form for you! If you don't see this link, you can manually enter the information at go/illiad (first time users will be prompted to set up their profile).
