Students can search for a specific book. When viewing the full record of the book, libraries near you that own it should be displayed first. (If your location doesn't seem to be accurate, choose the location displayed in the top right corner of the screen, then enter Alberta, Canada in the Update Location box, and select the Update Location button.
