Library Skills Tutorial

The Library Web Page - Online Catalog

The Online Catalog link will connect you to the library's catalog. The catalog allows you to search for books by

• Author
• Title
• Subject
• Keyword

The results display will give you the call number for each book so you can find it in the library, and publication information about each book, which you will need when you prepare a list of references for a paper.

Since Athens State University Library is part of a consortium, or a group of libraries, that shares a cataloging system, the catalog will also let you know if other libraries in the area own the books you are looking for.

You will learn more about the catalog as you continue through the tutorial.
