The following links take you to library catalogs in which you can search for materials by author, subject, title, etc. You will be able to search the libraries in Naperville Community District #203, the DuPage Library System, specific libraries within the DLS, libraries across Illinois, even around the world. If you find any materials which you would like to use, contact your library staff with the bibliographic and location information. They will then obtain the materials for you. Interlibrary loan transactions usually take 3-5 working days for materials to arrive. See the library staff for details.
This links you to the library catalog at the College of Dupage, Glen Ellyn, IL. Most residents of DuPage County are eligible to borrow materials from the COD Library Resource Center. Proof of residency must be presented to obtain a non-student borrowers card. The DLS library database is called MAGIC. Click on the link to "Web Access." Libraries whose holdings are listed in this catalog also list the circulation status of their materials. Since Naperville Central High School is a member of the DLS we have borrowing privileges on behalf of our students and staff. Alex Web allows students, staff, and community residents to view the holdings and circulation status of materials in each of the twenty-one schools in Naperville Community School District 203. This new feature (April, 1999) is in the process of being implemented. This links gives you a list of the school libraries in the district. Click on the school links which you wish to search. ( If you do not obtain the correct school catalog, contact the NCHS library staff with your requests.) This list of links gives you access to the I-SHARE libraries (45 Illinois university libraries), several stand-alone library systems in DLS, as well as a link to World Cat (other college & public libraries in Illinois and the rest of the United States). The State-wide Illinois Library Catalog allows you to search each or all of the Illinois Library System databases. It has an easy-to-use search feature giving you access to most of the libraries listed above.
