Card Catalogue Online launched

[24 September 2008]

A huge number of items in the Library’s collection are now more easily searchable following completion of a project to make the Library’s card catalogue available online.

The digitisation project involved scanning 300,000 cards covering pre-1978 material held in the Arts and Social Sciences Library and all other branch libraries (except the Medical Library).

As well as providing a browse facility that gives users access to images of the original cards onscreen, Card Catalogue Online is able to perform full-text searches of the item descriptions recorded on the cards.

The database of images is complemented by comprehensive help and information about the location of items within the Library.

You can access Card Catalogue Online on or off-campus. Connect directly or via links in the Library Catalogue and Metalib.

Students and staff may email Card Catalogue Help with questions or for further information about Card Catalogue Online.
