We can't own every book, though I do try.

Using WorldCat

WorldCat works the same as our catalog -- try our previous searches from the catalog here to see what comes up.

IMPORTANT:  Limit to Books ; Limit to nonfiction, nonJuvenile; Consider limiting to books after 1990; Don't feel compelled to search the full list, just skim the first few pages; because we are searching Millions of books, you may need to be more narrow in your search (Ex search "John Peter Zenger" as a title, not keyword)
