Starting Your Research

Interlibrary Loan

If you need a book, article or DVD that isn't held in the Bortz Library collections, you can borrow that book from another library using Interlibrary Loan!

Tipasa is the software that Bortz Library uses to request items from another library. Every Hampden-Sydney Student automatically has a Tipasa account created for them upon entering the college as freshmen. Log in below with your standard H-SC username and password to access your Tipasa account. If you have trouble logging in or have questions about your account, please contact the library. 

WorldCat is a global catalog of library collections. In other words, when you search for resources in WorldCat, you're searching through the catalog and database records of thousands of other libraries around the world!

Through our Interlibrary Loan (ILL) services, H-SC students, faculty, and staff can borrow items from other libraries.
