Using the Libraries' catalog

The Libraries' catalog is located on the Libraries' main page.  The catalog contains information about materials to which the Libraries subscribe or purchase.  We have also added several of the online indexes to the catalog, so you can find articles, encyclopedia entries and many other materials as well.  Please remember that not all the journals to which we subscribe are indexed in the catalog and you may have to use other indexes (or databases) and tools to find some information.  If you can't find something, please Ask A Librarian .
