Who has that book?

Your librarian can borrow materials for you through InterLibrary loan.
How does the librarian find out "who has that book"?

One resource the librarian checks is WorldCat.
You can check WorldCat yourself in GALILEO.
GALILEO
....Databases A to Z
......Jump to W
.........Select WorldCat
........Do your search and then click on the highlighted link for Libraries

What if you just want to browse a neighboring library's catalog- how would you find that particular catalog? Yes, you could do a Google search but you know I'm going to send you to GALILEO.

GALILEO has a link - Library Catalogs - just under the link for GALILEO Planet. Many libraries in Georgia are listed- academic libraries, private college libraries, public libraries and special libraries- let your fingers do the walking!

The password for home use of GALILEO is available from your local librarian. The resources noted for North Metro Technical College may not be available through your local public library.
