We can obtain books from
any library in Florida and nationwide. This is called an
"interlibrary loan" (ILL). ILLs
take about two weeks to arrive, depending on the lending library. If we obtain it
from a nearby library, the arrival
time should be less.
Items are usually checked out for 2 - 4 weeks. Renewals:
we will contact the lending library,
however not all
libraries allow renewals. You can fill out an ILL form
online, by phone,
or by visiting WPPL's
Reference Desk on the first floor. Your
account must be in good standing before you can request an ILL. If you need the book sooner,
consider checking the catalog of the Orange County
Library System and/or
Maitland
Public
Library.*

You can find articles by searching our electronic databases.

collections of articles and info
from popular and scholarly journals, newspapers and other reference works.
Users must be a resident of the City
of Winter Park and have a

Consolidated Searching option. Consolidated Searching
allows
simultaneous searches in the Library's catalog and select databases. Click

If you are unable to locate the
full-text of the article in the databases, we can obtain the
article through an
interlibrary loan. You can fill out an ILL form
online, by phone,

How
can I find out which Florida and out-of-state libraries own
materials? |
We use a service called WorldCat, a catalog that provides the holdings of
all libraries worldwide. You can use a
simple version of
it by visiting here. You will be
directed to type in your zip code, etc. for exact locations.
For
assistance in obtaining materials from those libraries, refer to an earlier entry above.

* WPPL Reference Librarians are happy to search the catalog for
you to check availability of items.
