Beyond Snell Library

To find libraries with manuscript or document collections on a topic or person, try using these websites:

ArchiveGrid (OCLC)
Search a topic, person, or event to find which libraries have archival or manuscript collections with primary source materials.
National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections (NUCMC)

Looking for a book that's checked out to someone else? Or that Northeastern doesn't have...?

WorldCat (OCLC)
This custom WorldCat link for Northeastern allows you to search book titles (or topics, authors, etc..) and find which libraries have them, place requests for interlibrary loan, or visit libraries in person if open to Northeastern users.
Northeastern affiliates on the Boston campus may use WorldCat Discovery to launch a request for items via interlibrary loan

Use the "Request from another library" or "Order from ILLiad" button (see example)

PDF articles will be delivered through your Husky mail in 1-3 days.
Books from other libraries will be delivered in 3-10 days for pickup at the Snell Library Help and Information Desk
