How do I find a book using CLICsearch?

        2.  Locate your item and click on the title. In the next screen you can see several important pieces of information.

• Under Requesting Options you can see that it the item is located at the Bethel University Library.

First, always sign in when using CLICsearch to get complete results, request items, and manage your library account. 

How can I tell if Bethel doesn't have a book and how can I request it if that's the case?

In your results page, look for Check holdings to identify items that are only available at other CLIC libraries.

Click on the item to see which library has this item and to place a request. In this example, we can see that St. Catherine University has a copy of this book. Click on Request from a CLIC library to have this item sent to Bethel. Requested items normally arrive in about two days, and emails are sent when items are available to pick up at the BUL circulation desk.
