North Hall Library 

This Guide describes where to find different materials and services in the library.

This Guide gives hints for developing a good search strategy.

Use PILOT to find books, videos, and other materials in our Library.

To look for books that are not owned by the North Hall Library, go to E-ZBorrow & borrow from another university library in Pa. WorldCat can be used to search libraries world wide and the Interlibrary Loan Service may be used to borrow materials not available locally or in EZ-Borrow.
