About Library Catalogs
Online library catalogs are searchable lists of information about books, periodicals, and other items held by libraries.
Search by:
- Title
- Author
- Subject heading
- Keyword (a word that appears anywhere in the catalog record)
Advanced search by:
- Language
- Date of publication
Search Tips
- Search by keyword for articles inside a book, chapter headings, illustrators, etc. Note: Keyword searching does not usually search the entire text of a book -- only the text of the catalog record.
- Use language limit features to see books only in the language you choose.
- Search in the Hebrew alphabet, if possible, and try a variation of spellings (SEE OTHER PAGE).
- Use WorldCat to search almost every major library in North America.
