Books & Media

As a Monmouth College patron, you have access to three tiers of library catalogs. 

Hewes Library Catalog

• Locate physical books, DVDs and media owned by Hewes Library; select Ebooks included
• Materials may be print or digital and are immediately available on campus

I-Share Catalog

• Locate and borrow books owned in other Illinois academic libraries
• To request an item first login to the library catalog. Learn more about requesting materials via I-Share.
• Materials are delivered to Hewes Library in 3-5 days 

WorldCat

• A larger, international library catalog, WorldCat, allows identification of materials beyond the Hewes Library and the I-Share Catalog. (Be sure to check these catalogs first.)
• Materials identified in WorldCat may be requested using WorldShare.
• Items may take 7-14 days to arrive. 

• Any Field, default, searches all words in all fields.
• Advanced Search allows more complex and multiple field searches.
• For a more specific search, choose Title, Author or Subject.
• On the results screen, Refine Your Results allows additional resource to narrow your focus.
