To search for and request books that we do not have at STL, start by searching the SUNY Catalog. Instructions for using the SUNY Catalog and requesting items with SUNY Resource Sharing can be found here (opens new window).
If a SUNY library does not have the book you are looking for, search other libraries using WorldCat. Click the WorldCat tab on the library homepage and search for a book. Select the title of the book and click the orange button, "Request Item through Interlibrary Loan." You will be taken to ILLiad where you can log in with your NPCUID and password and submit your request!
No luck with SUNY Catalog or WorldCat? Search the catalog of the Mid-Hudson Library System to see if an area public library has a copy.
