Find Books: Books via I-Share

Tips for the I-Share catalog

• You can search the I-Share catalog directly, or you can begin in the Knox catalog and expand your search results to include all I-Share libraries -- it's up to you!


• Remember that the process for searching I-Share is the same as searching just at Knox, so take a look at the Library Catalog tab and Search Tips tab for some guidance.


• Once you locate a book in the I-Share catalog, just follow the steps below to request it, and the book will be sent to Seymour Library for you!

Requesting a book through I-Share is simple, and can be done if a book isn't available at Knox. Remember that you'll need to sign in to your library account to request books from I-Share.
