Missing Page Finders

From DPCanadaWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

PMs, looking for some missing pages? Here's a more direct way of getting them! Here's how it works: below is a list of volunteers and their home libraries, with links to the catalogs. If you find a book with pages you need in their library, send a message to the appropriate volunteer and let them know. With any luck, they can pick up the book and get your pages for you ASAP. DPCers please note, these links are to Dpers in DP-INT. You'll have to PM them via the DP-INT website (until we can persuade them to register here, too).

Please make sure to add your own library access capabilities. They will be key to our pursuit of Canadiana.

Worldcat is a handy search tool that will help you find what libraries worldwide have the book you need, and you can then cross-reference the results there with the list here.

Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) codes are listed after libraries below in brackets (i.e. [LOC]) which are used by systems like Worldcat.

The Library of Congress links to many, many library catalogs, as well.

Minnesota Library Info Network [24 libraries and library systems]

  • Estreya: All Minnesota libraries including government, schools, university and public libraries; all journals/magazines are in MN Union List of Serials; click "Search the new MnLINK Gateway" button then "Advanced Search" on the left blue bar. Default searches all libraries in system.
  • Bruce Albrecht: While it won't show in the above list, I am also able to ILL from libraries in North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin.
  • kraester: Within the MnLINK network, I have access to the entire Great River Regional Library System [GRR] without having to "hassle" with ILL. Even though these are mostly small libraries (except for the regional headquarters in St. Cloud), there are some original Carnegie Libraries in the system, so some older, hard-to-find books may be accessible from them.
    I also have direct access to the College of St. Benedict/St. John's University and St. Cloud State University libraries, all three of which are part of the MnPALS system.

University of Minnesota - Twin Cities [MNU]

List of Volunteers (multiple libraries)

(Volunteers, add yourselves here!)

Noddegamra

can access:

  • Henry Madden Library The library for CSU Fresno. Currently it is under some construction, so some books are held off-site and might require approximately one week to get receive. Some books may only be checked out for a single day due to condition, and some may even not be allowed to be removed from the building itself. However, in both of these cases, the library does offer photocopying services.
  • Fresno County Public Library My home county's library. Just about anything can be checked out, and what cannot, can be photocopied. Unfortunately, their entire catalog is not online; only a portion of it (~65%). Some branches are outside of my city and those require a long drive, so I may not be able to get the book that very day, but no more than a week.
  • Fresno, CA - If you happen to find another library that I do not currently know about (there are small ones), I will gladly get a book from them. Also, if you happen to find a used book that one can buy here for under $5, I will also gladly buy it (any more will require reimbursement).

Fraser-Cunliffe

can access:

  • Mississauga Library My home library - anything not marked as "Reference" can be obtained. "Reference" books can be photocopied at the library branch.
  • Toronto Public Library This may take a bit of time - I need to coordinate with my mother to withdraw books
  • University of Toronto Library I can photocopy missing pages from books at the Mississauga Campus and Robart's Hall. I cannot withdraw books (at this time ... I am working on obtaining a card)
  • Oakville Public Library Pages can be photocopied at the branch. I do not have a library card for these facilities.

Shabam

can access these libraries. They are in the order of convenience for me

  • Portland State University
  • Portland, OR - Don't be shy about the microfilm. We have a microfilm scanner that costs me nothing and will email you a PDF of the scan. Also, look in Summit if you do not find it at PSU, I can get books from Summit (the button is at the top of the search page) within a few days.
  • Multnomah County Library
  • Portland, OR - Easy for me to get to. I think that the main branch has a scanner for texts that cannot be checked out.
  • Washington County Library
  • Beaverton, OR - Across town, but I go through here on my way to my parents.
  • Clackamas County Library
  • Clackamas, OR - This is across town, but I can go out there if need be.
