OwlCat logo.OwlCat: Accessing the New Library Catalog

To access OwlCat, click on the image above. Or enter your search into the box below.

We have migrated to a new library catalog, OwlCat. Use its Extended Search. In this one box, you will be able to search:

  • books and videos in the Library
  • research databases
  • ebooks
  • open access content
  • and more
  • all at the same time

Although we migated our data into the new system, there may be a few glitches (like duplicate records).Some user features, like placing requests, may not be available yet. Please use the catalog and let us know what you think. (And if it looks familiar, it is very similar to Art & Architecture Source,)
