What's in the catalog
The library catalog has a record for every book, ebook, journal, database, map, film, newspaper available through the library. The catalog does not include articles. For articles, search databases. We have close to 8 million print titles and over 2 million ebooks. Very few of these will be freely available on the web!
Most of our ebooks allow downloading by chapter. For print books, you can a) request a scan of the chapter directly from the catalog record, b) retrieve the book from the library stacks to check out, or c) request the book to pick up at one of our contact-less delivery sites.
