  The bibliographic database of the Research Libraries Group, with membership composed of about 150 major research libraries, archives, and museums in the United States, Canada, and -- increasingly -- the rest of the world as well. The database, numbering over 22 million records, is comprised of the cataloging records of these institutions created since the mid-1970s -- and for older materials as these institutions undertake retrospective conversion of their card catalogs -- for books, serials, maps, scores, records, visual materials, computer datafiles, and manuscript and archival material.
  
• Other major online catalogs (e.g. Harvard, the New York Public Library, the Library of Congress)
• Gateways to University research library catalogs in the United Kingdom and to the catalogs and online resources of the national libraries of Europe.
