The library catalog is a database that organizes materials your library collects on particular subjects and identifies where these items are located. How do you search for items
in the catalog? Author: search last name first If looking for books by: Vinton Cerf Title: drop the first article (a, an, the) If looking for the book: The Complete Internet User's Guide Subject: use subject headings If looking for books about: the history of the Internet How do you find an article once you have a citation from a periodical index? After you gather a list of citations from a periodical index, check to see if your library owns that magazine or journal by searching the library catalog. When you search, be sure to look for the title of the periodical, *not* the title of the article.
