The New Catalog

 

The Classic Catalog

The Classic Catalog

  • Includes the holdings of 19 Cornell University libraries (over 7 million items)
  • Contains records for books, DVD's/videos, sound recordings, magazines/newspapers/journals, computer files, government documents, manuscripts and archives, maps, musical scores, and more

 

Search Tips for the Classic Catalog

The key to effective searching is awareness of the Library of Congress subject headings. They are nation-state-centric and period-centric. Terms are generally plural. Any given topic will have many overlapping subject headings.

Some typical examples of Library of Congress subject headings (and terms) for history:

Homer
Iliad
Mythology, Greek
Greek poetry
Poets, Greek
Oral tradition Greek

If we do not have a BOOK in our holdings, or if the book you need is already checked out:
