If you discover that the Brown Library doesn’t own a book that you need or that Brown’s copy is checked out, don’t despair. You can make an online request to borrow the book from another library. It’s easy, quick, and provides access to over 75 million volumes. For more information, and a complete list of libraries involved, go to: More Borrowing Options
Look for links to “Borrow from Other Libraries” or “Check InRhode” at the top of a Josiah search results screen (see screenshot) or click on “More Borrowing Options” on the Brown Library home page.
Borrow Direct provides access to the Ivy League libraries (except Harvard). With InRhode you can search the collections of Roger Williams University and other Rhode Island academic libraries. The Virtual Catalog will connect you to 13 other libraries, including Tufts University and the University of Connecticut.
