Search Multiple Library Catalogs: Help

You can search multiple library catalogs within Orbis. To get to the multiple library catalogs page, click "Library Catalogs" button on the top of your Orbis screen.

In this page, you can search the online catalogs of six other libraries as well as Orbis. These six libraries are: Yale Law Library, Center for Research Libraries, Library of Congress, University of Pennsylvania Library, Columbia University Library, and Princeton University Library.

To connect to other library catalogs, select one or more catalogs from the drop down list, and then click "Connect". This will bring you to the simple search screen where you can search the catalog(s). Please note that there are fewer options in both Simple Search and Advanced Search when you search multiple library catalogs within Orbis.

After you conduct your search and the results are returned, you can save, E-mail, or print the search results in the same way as the other Orbis records. Click here for Save/E-mail/Print: Help.

To disconnect from other library catalogs and return to Orbis, click "Logout" and then "Restart Orbis". You may also consult our list of Library Catalogs to link directly to these and other catalogs.
