Testing, testing, testing

The techy folks tell me that IP addresses mark a location. That IP address acts as a sign to other computers. That's how WorldCat recognizes when I'm searching from school (where WorldCat in GALILEO is accessible).

I tried to access the NetLibrary books from home through the public WorldCat and didn't succeed.

Fascinating how important that IP address is in identifying the computer and how seamless it is.

If you're at NMTC you can access the Request Items link in the public WorldCat. Off campus you'll need to use WorldCat through GALILEO to access that Interlibrary Loan request form.
