Using the Library Catalog

Record Detail

The record detail is shown as a result of clicking a title link from your list of results. Each record detail includes complete information for the title. When you look at the results of your search, notice the headings in the record detail. You can follow the hypertext link to the appropriate Library of Congress subject headings.

The “Library Owns:” section of the record detail lists the library's copies of the title and whether the copies are currently available for borrowing or checked out.

If the item is checked out, the status column will indicate the date on which the title is due to be returned to the library.
