Who's on first?

The classic comedy sketch "Who's on first?" still brings laughs! But when you're looking for a book and can't figure out who has it...there is very little laughing going on....look in World Cat to find out what library has the title you are looking for. Your librarian can then request that title through InterLibrary Loan. The process takes about two weeks.

"The WorldCat database is the world's most comprehensive bibliography with bibliographic records representing information spanning 4,000 years of knowledge. It is the OCLC Online Union Catalog of information contributed by OCLC (Online Computer Library Center) member libraries worldwide. "

NMTC has entered the books in our collection into WorldCat. WorldCat serves as another card catalog for our library. Our symbol is FQ9 if you'd like to limit your search in WorldCat to the materials we own.
