When you want to search for books and government documents in the Carleton and St. Olaf libraries (excluding article-level works), you'll want to use the "Books" tab of Catalyst from the library homepage, 

or, since you're here, just use the search box below.

Search the Catalyst by keyword, or by subject if you know an exact subject heading. Some headings to try:

• [name of sport] teams
• [name of sport] players
• collective bargaining sports
• college sports
• mass media and sports
• olympics
• sports economic aspects
• sports for women
• sports facilities
• sports franchises
• sports law and legislation
• sports teams
• stadiums
• television broadcasting in sports
• women athletes

When you need to read an article, working paper, or book but you can't find it in the Libe's collections, you have more options than pulling out your wallet. The Inter-Library Loan (ILL) service makes it possible for the library to borrow materials from other libraries for you to use.

Look for links to ILL or Illiad (which is the name of our ILL software) from article databases, which will lead you to a request form. You can also go directly to ILL from the library web site (home page > login/your accounts > InterLibrary Loan), where you can also check the status of your requests. Articles take a few days and books around a week. You'll get an email when your item is ready.
