University Library Catalog
The Cornell University Library Catalog contains records that identify and locate
books, ebooks, journals, ejournals, sound recordings, printed music, maps, videos,
DVDs, and other media held in the university's 20 libraries, as well
as the CISER Data Archive and the Geneva Experiment Station
Library. For
further information about the catalog and its contents, click
here. There is a separate
catalog for the Weill Cornell Medical Library.
Please note: Individual libraries and divisions may have additional catalogs or files that provide access to unique resources not found in CUL's online catalog. For additional information about access to these files, Ask a Librarian.
Find
it!
You can use Find it! to find articles, databases, e-journals, and images. Search results will lead
to materials available online or, if online access is not available, to the Library
Catalog for the location of the item in the library's physical collection or to interlibrary loan if the item is not available at Cornell. Find it! also provides direct access to many of the catalogs, periodical
indexes (including full-text sources), newspaper databases, numeric files, and
other online reference sources licensed by Cornell. In addition, it
includes links to public websites reviewed and selected by Cornell librarians. All of the resources in Find it! may also be accessed through the CUL
online catalog, which contains our full listing of resources.
