Borrowing Beyond the Trico
--Try EZBorrow first for quick turnaround on books from nearby libraries.
--Turn to Interlibrary Loan if you can't find a book in EZBorrow (books might be borrowed from anywhere in the US or abroad, so this is slower)
--(Use Interlibrary Loan to request a copy of an article to be sent to your email.)
