Locating Selections
Use this guide to help you locate possible selections.
Allow lots of time to find your resources, particularly if they are to be grouped around a theme. You may find you need to borrow materials directly from other libraries, request items from our partner LINKin libraries, or send for items on Interlibrary Loan.
