Enhanced Searching Now Available with WorldCat Local

Biola University Library is dedicated to offering you access to the widest possible range of resources. WorldCat Local is not only the world’s largest catalog, but also the easiest way to search our collection, link to online resources, place holds or request items, and borrow materials from other libraries.

To get started, enter a keyword or phrase in the search box. In your results, any items owned by the Biola University Library are displayed first. Items owned by LINK+ libraries will display second. Items owned by other WorldCat libraries will display last. You can use the links on the left to refine your search to a particular author, format, or year.

Want to know more, or need help? Ask a librarian, watch a tutorial, or check out some WorldCat FAQs.
