To obtain books from the other colleges, students must click on 'Make a Request' at the upper right of the item record page and fill in their library barcode and last name. It can be sent to Columbia or Timonium centers, for Notre Dame off Campus Centers, please have the student contact the reference desk at askemail@loyola.edu

Discovery

Our Discovery service is "Seeker" (Ebsco Discovery Service). It is the first box on the library homepage.

Running a search in Seeker returns results from many of our subscribed databases (including all EBSCO databases), our catalog (Ex Libris Voyager), and local collections.  Limiters are arrayed vertically on the left; if a user wants to limit to the catalog, they need to apply "available in library collection" under Refine Your Results together with "books" and "ebooks" under Source Types. Users from off-campus will be asked to authenticate (login) with their last name and barcode (printed on their school IDs) if they want to view the full-text of results. 

We do not call this discovery service "EBSCO Discovery Service" with our patrons.  Use "Seeker."
