Some Info about Using WorldCat

When you are using the main search box on the Albertsons Library site, you are searching in WorldCat, a database of library catalogs from across the country. This means that you may come across books that are not owned by Boise State University Albertsons Library.

If you are searching for books, select the "Books" tab first and then type your search terms in the blank search box.
