What are Library Catalogs?

Library catalogs contain information on what books, videos, music, and other materials a library owns. It is also often the point of access to electronic books (ebooks).

Note that most catalogs do not include journal, magazine, and newspaper articles.  To find articles, please see the Find Articles tab.
