What is Tipasa?

Tipasa is a service that will provide you with materials that LVC does not own.
Proceedings and PapersFirst both provide a Request from LVC Tipasa link on each individual record.
You can also request a proceeding via Tipasa from the library's homepage (with the Request an Interlibary Loan link).
With Tipasa, you'll either get a PDF sent to you electronically, or a hard copy that will need to be returned.
