WorldCat - Use WorldCat to expand your search for books, theses, etc. beyond the Five College area. Watch for items that are owned by only one library; such unique material is often not obtainable via interlibrary loan.
Use the SC Links button 
within WorldCat to access and populate the interlibrary loan forms.
Use Interlibrary Loan to request books not owned in the Five Colleges. Please allow at least 2 weeks for delivery (books may come more quickly, especially from in-state).
Suggest Purchase - If you run across a book that Smith doesn't own and you think we should, use this form to suggest that the library purchase it.

Note that subject searching isn't always straigtforward. Try a KEYWORDS ANYWHERE search to find a few relevant titles, for example: argentina and dirty war . Then click on the subject headings on those records to conduct a more comprehensive subject search.
Example of subject searches on the Argentina's dirty war:
Or, look up one of the books you're already found, perhaps from your syllabus, and use the subjects assigned to that collection to locate books on the same topic, for example, A Lexicon of Terror: Argentina and the Legacies of Torture.
