Advanced Search

OneSearch provides a simple way to search for books, eBooks, videos, articles, digital media, and more, all in one place. In the search box above, you will see a drop-down list of options for filtering your search. To find books, you have several options:

  • Library holdings only: This is the local holdings catalog. Our catalog includes physical items found on the shelves in the Tredway Library, as well as electronic items like eBooks and videos. This search also includes items in Special Collections and the Swenson Center. 
  • All I-Share Libraries: This searches for physical books and media from other academic libraries across Illinois. Many of these items can be requested for delivery to Tredway Library through a service called I-Share (eBooks, with some exceptions, are normally not available to request due to licensing restrictions).  
  • Tredway resources (Library holdings + Articles): This searches all of the library's physical and electronic resources (books, eBooks, videos, journal/magazine articles, and electronic references sources. This search also includes items in Special Collections and the Swenson Center.

Requesting Resources through Interlibrary Loan

If you are unable to locate resources for your research from either the local library holdings or I-Share, you also have the option to request items through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). ILL uses WorldCat to search for library holdings across the world, most of which we have the ability to request for you and have delivered to the college. To access WorldCat, go to the library's homepage and click the link located below the search bar. It will present you with a search box much like what the local and I-Share catalogs use. 
Note: ILL requires you to set up a free account in ILLiad in order to request materials.

 

There are three ways to request materials from other libraries:

  • Use the request form.
  • Place hold directly from I-Share to borrow materials from Illinois academic libraries.
  • Place a request from WorldCat to borrow materials from libraries around the world.
