LVC Books searches books--ebooks and print--that LVC owns. WorldCat is database that searches 77,000 worldwide library catalogs. Books found in WorldCat, may require you to use ILL/Interlibrary Loan/Tipasa to get copy.

Interlibrary Loan, ILL, or Tipasa, is a service that will provide you with books that LVC does not own.
Most of the library's databases will provide a Looking for Full Text? link on results that don't provide PDF full-text. If that Looking for Full-Text? link fails, you'll see a button for Request this Item through LVC Tipasa.
You can also place an ILL request from the library's homepage. Via interlibrary loan, we'll borrow the book from another library for you and will notify you via email when your book arrives.
How long does it take?
Books will take a bit longer (they have to come through the mail)--allow two weeks.
