Important...

We have one Catalog at SJU---but we have two interfaces for searching it:

  • Classic Catalog
  • Discovery Catalog


 

When you locate a resource in the catalog:

  • Click the title to go to the full record. Make a note of the call number and the floor where the book is located.

  • Information on locating materials in the Library.

  • Once you locate the book in the Library, browse around that area for other resources on the same subject.

 


When a book is not available:

  • If we own the book, but it is currently on loan to another patron, request it from E-ZBorrow.
 
 

Classic Catalog -- Looking for a Specific Title or Author

Books Classic Catalog Search   
  • The Classic Catalog is best used when searching for a specific title or author. 
  • You can search across additional fields such as ISBN or Call Number etc.
  • You can also search for specific "subjects" as defined by the Library of Congress
  • You can restrict your search to a particular collection e.g. Campbell Library or Drexel Popular Reading.
  • Use this catalog if you need to capture a permanent link to the record for a resource.
 

Discovery Catalog -- Searching for a Topic



SJU Discovery Catalog  SJU Discovery Catalog

 

The Discovery Catalog is best used when searching for a topic by keyword. 

  • If you are searching for a phrase, put the words in quotes (i.e., "capital punishment").
  • Use the navigation panel on the right to refine your search by publication type, author, date, etc.
  • Use the word cloud on the left to broaden your search.
