| Book Catalog Help: Searching Author and Titles
|
|
You will be searching the
Orbis Library Catalog.
The online library catalog contains items added to all Yale libraries except special collections such as
pamphlets and maps.
Books can be searched by exact title, keywords in titles, author/editor, and subject headings.
You can restrict your search to only online books.
HINTS:
- Subject searching: exact Library of Congress `Subject Headings'
must be used -- they can be found in the big red volumes near
the terminals. You may want to first search by keyword and then
browse the assigned subject headings in resulting book records.
- Conference titles are searched as authors.
- Conference editors are searched as authors.
- Individual conference papers can not be found in this book catalog,
searching for the paper in one of the subject
indexes.
- Materials are shelved according to a subject arrangement known
as the Library
of Congress subject classification.
NOTES:
MORRIS, the catalog

Also consider the Center for
Research Libraries (CRL)
The CRL database is the online catalog of the
Center
for Research Libraries in Chicago. Its primary purpose is to collect
those research materials not targeted by the North American research
institutions. The Center collects heavily in the follow materials:
archival materials, newspapers and periodicals (foreign & domestic,
specialized), foreign doctoral dissertations, U.S. state documents,
USSR Academic publications. The Center collects broadly in the following
geographic regions: Africa, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. In addition,
the Center collects any category of material, from any geographic
locale, which is deemed important to scholarly research, but has not
been acquired by other institutions. The Center's resources are available
to Yale University faculty, staff, and students through the Interlibrary
Loan Office (Sterling Library).
