Search the SouthEastern (SEAL) New York Library catalog
If you fail to find what you desire in the MidHudson catalog, widen your search to this database that includes catalogs from neighboring counties. These include school, public, private and academic libraries. If you find what you desire, call us or stop in, so we can place an interlibrary loan request for you.

Search the New York State Library catalog
If you fail to find what you desire by searching SEAL, expand your search to the state-wide level. When we place an interlibrary loan request for you at this level, indicate how much money you would be willing to pay to receive this item, as there may be a charge from the loaning library.

Search the Library of Congress catalog
If your title is not held at the state level, try the national level with the Library of Congress. This is a good search to make to double-check the authenticity of the title or author. Holdings are not listed, but if you don't find it here, it's a good indication that your information may be misspelled or have some other inaccuracy.

There is even a catalog we search at the Library called WorldCat that lists holdings on an international basis, so we should be able to get the most obscure titles for you. Please keep in mind that there will most likely be a charge levied at this level.
