Useful Tips

Tip 1: Your first seach should be a very general keyword search.

Tip 2: Never use a, an, or the when searching for a title.

Tip 3: Always use the long view to review subject headings.

Tip 4: If a record says "networked resource" it is usually available online.

Tip 5: Always pay attention to the call numbers and note whether the material is shelved in the regular, oversized (+), or double oversized (++) sections.

Library Catalog

The Cornell University Library Catalog is a database that contains records for materials held in 19 of the 20 libraries that collectively comprise the Cornell University Library.

For more advanced searching, use the Guided Keyword Search in the catalog.

If the book is checked out or not at Cornell, you can...

  • Use Requests in the catalog to hold, recall, request materials from the Annex, and library-to-library book delivery.

  • Borrow Direct is a reciprocal borrowing program among the Ivies. If Cornell's copy is unavailable, you can borrow it from another Ivy. It is fast -- usually only a few days.

  • Interlibrary Loan can get material that Cornell does not own from libraries worldwide.
