How do I find a book in the library?
Answer
Our Introduction to the Brown University Library guide will explain how to find a print book. Ebooks may be accessed through BruKnow.
To access materials in the John Hay Library, you must create an account and request the book though your account. John Hay materials may be used only in the Special Collections Reading Room.
If the item you need is in the Annex (called Offsite Storage in BruKnow), click on the link that says "Request" under Links in the book record. This will recall the book to campus.
If a book is checked out, you may ask for a copy through Interlibrary Loan by clicking on Request from Another Library.
