Wofford OneSearch has an Expand My Results feature.  It expands the results of your search to include items that are not available directly at Wofford College.

After expanding your results, you can use the Rapid ILL feature to request items that are not directly available at Wofford be delivered to you (there is no charge for this):

• Delivery of an article--which process is done completely online, using your campus e-mail address--takes less than 11 hours! 

• Delivery of a print book or other physical item takes several business days to one week, depending on where the item is being shipped from.  (The physical item is delivered to the library's circulation desk for you to pick up.  When you have finished using the item, you simply return it to our library's circulation desk to have our library send it back to the provider.)
