Two things to remember about the Cornell Library Catalog:
- It lists the holdings of all the Cornell libraries (Mann, Olin, Law, Uris, Catherwood, etc.).
- You cannot find journal articles in this catalog. Only the titles of journals, magazines, and newspapers are listed along with the years and volumes that we own. To find articles, click on the Finding Articles tab in this guide.
