BruKnow: The Brown Library Catalog

You can also access our Interlibrary Loan services through BruKnow. Just use the Interlibrary Loan option at the top of the page to learn what your options are.

OR: If you have looked up a title in our catalog and it's checked out to someone else or otherwise unavailable, you can easily request a copy from another library right in the catalog record. Just click on Request via Interlibrary Loan.

If you'd like to expand your search to include materials that are not available at Brown, such as books in other library collections, carry out your search, then click on the Expand My Results box.

The material we don't have in our collection will say either "Check for Available Services" or "No Online Access."

When you click on the record, you'll see the option to Request via Interlibrary Loan.

Note: This will not work for every book published! If the book does not appear when you carry out an expanded search in BruKnow, please use:
