NLM LocatorPlus -- Finding Items Marked "Not Held at NLM"
Printer-friendly VersionQuestion: The call number in LocatorPlus for the book or audiovisual I want is the phrase "Not held at NLM." How do I get this title?
Answer:
When the call number field displays "Not held at NLM," the National Library of Medicine does not own that item.
- To locate a library in your area that owns the item, click Find Other Libraries That Own This in the field labeled Other Locations: at the bottom of the LocatorPlus record.
You will connect to WorldCat, a system that lists library holdings. The libraries closest to you that own the title are displayed first.
If WorldCat returns too many titles because you are searching for a common title or name, access the WorldCat Advanced Search screen where you can add more information to find a location for the specific item. - In some cases, book or audiovisual titles listed in LocatorPlus are available from collaborating organizations which may be able to provide the title through interlibrary loan or for a fee.
To identify NLM's collaborating partners, click on the MARC VIEW tab and examine the value in the locally defined MARC 21 field 998. Follow the chart below to determine which organization may be able to supply the needed title:
