Find Books
Use CrossSearch for books and articles related to your topic. To search for only books, click the "Catalog Only" button in the left menu of the results page.
You can access the search bar depicted above on the HC Libraries Home Page. If Holy Cross does not have a book you need, you can use WorldCat to search for books from other libraries and then request these books through Interlibrary Loan.
Interlibrary Loan
Borrow materials from other libraries using the free interlibrary loan (ILL) services. Articles and book chapters can be emailed directly to you. Physical materials will be sent through the mail - please leave enough time for your request to process and ship. They may be picked up at the circulation desk after they arrive.
