OCLC WorldCat is the Library's online catalog. It contains searchable information for more all of the library's print books, and the library's e-books, (books available online in full test); along with listings for all of our print journal titles, videos, audios, etc. Even if you are not on campus we can still send you a book, or copy an article for you and email or fax it. You can access OCLC Worldcat from any computer in the library, or from anywhere you have Internet access.
When to use the catalog
