To find books and government documents in USA Libraries' collections, use SOUTHcat: USA Libraries' Catalog.

  • Catalog tips and tricks:
    • Keyword searches – use quotation marks to hold phrases together ("nazi death camps")
    • Truncation – use ? after the root of a word to find all its variants (nazi? finds nazi, nazis, nazism...)
    • Browse the Subject(s) field in records to find the right words for searches. (Example: Try doing a keyword search for "concentration camps" then look at the subject(s) field in several records. You’ll see that the subject terms can vary from  "Concentration camps" to "World War, 1939-1945 -- Concentration camps -- Germany."  Click the subject heading to find more records with this subject.
  • Revise and refine your searches.
  • Watch for repeating call numbers and browse stacks in that area.
  • Pay attention to the Location and Status fields. You will need this information to locate the item in the library. The Location field will also tell you whether or not a book can be checked out. A book that's shelved in Marx Library Reference cannot usually be checked out, while one in Marx Library Bookstacks can.
