If the Pacific Library doesn't have the score, set of parts, or recording you are seeking, you can usually get it from another library, through a service called Interlibrary Loan.
Requests are free and the average turnaround time is two weeks.
- Interlibrary Loan: This service allows you to borrow items from other libraries if they are not available through the Pacific Library.
- When requesting any type of music score or recording, select the "Request Book or Other Media" link and fill in the form.
- Worldcat: This catalog lets you search the collections of many libraries to locate the item you need. You can copy & paste item information from this catalog into the Interlibrary Loan request form.
