    If you know the title and author, go to your favorite library and
    ask the librarian for help.  They can often get books through
    interlibrary loan; fees may be involved.

    If you don't know exactly what you are looking for, try browsing
    one of the online library catalogs.  Some of the best are
      Harvard University                <http://hollisweb.harvard.edu/>
      University of California (UC)     <http://www.cdlib.org/>
