NOTE: Expanded Academic Index (ACAD) was removed from ORBIS on June 30th, 1998. It has been replaced by WilsonWeb and ProQuest Direct. Please send any questions or comments to smlref@yale.edu.
The collections of the Yale University Library are represented in multiple
online catalogs and card catalogs.
Together, Orbis, Morris (the Law Library
catalog) and the Center for Research Libraries (CRL) catalog constitute the Yale University Library online catalog.
-
Use these catalogs to determine what materials (books, journals, archival
collections, etc.) are held by Yale, and where these items are located.
-
Materials published prior to 1977 that do not appear in Orbis (OPAC) can
be located using the "union" card catalog in Sterling Memorial Library.
More than half of the Library collection is represented ONLY in the card
catalog.
-
There are also numerous
Special
Library Catalogs that provide unique access to the Yale Library collections.
For example, Government Documents and Maps are NOT
represented in Orbis or the SML card catalog.
-
The Law Library maintains a separate online catalog called Morris.
-
Additional materials purchased cooperatively are available through
Interlibrary Loan from the Center for Research Libraries (CRL).
