WorldCat is the world's largest and most comprehensive bibliographic database for books, journal titles, media, manuscripts and other materials held in libraries. Created by OCLC member libraries, WorldCat is the first place to look for bibliographic verification of any title ever published. However, if you want to limit your search to items held by Miami University Libraries, use the MUL catalog. Materials not owned by Miami or by an OhioLINK library must be requested through Interlibrary Loan.
