Catalogs are some of the primary discovery tools in a library. A local catalog (such as Orbis) enables a library user to determine what items are in a library's collection and where those items are housed. Another type of catalog is a union catalog. A union catalog is a "catalog of catalogs" and contains library holdings information for all the libraries (academic, public and private) that contribute information to the union catalog.
Dictionaries, Encyclopedias and Other Selected Resources Dictionaries are monographs that define individual words of a language so as to set forth their orthography, pronunciation, signification, and use, their synonyms, deviation, and history among other facts. Dictionaries can be general or subject specific. Encyclopedias are works that contain information on all branches of knowledge or treat comprehensively a particular branch of knowledge, usually in articles arranged alphabetically by subject. Both types of reference materials provide ideas for developing a search term list and strategy. Indexes, such as periodical indexes, allow you to search for articles or subject specific materials published in a periodical, journal title, or other bibliographic resources. Some of the indexes listed here also permit the retrieval of the full text of a given article. Please note that an index and a catalog are not the same type of discovery tool. A catalog allows you to determine if a resource is part of a library's collection. An index allows you to search for a specific article, book chapter, etc. within a periodical, journal title, or other resource. A sample of additional library resources, such as electronic journals and interlibrary loan/document delivery services. A selection of links to local education resources. A collection of resources that are useful tools for paper composition.
