How can I use the catalog?

FAQ Categories: Finding Materials

Go to the library's home page and click on Locate Books & Video. This takes you to the online catalog. The catalog is a "combined" catalog for all the Maricopa Community College libraries. This enables you to access the collections of other community college libraries by changing the search default (Glendale) to "Maricopa Community College Libraries" on the search page.

It is also "combined" in the sense that it includes all types of formats - books, videos, dvds, audio recordings, etc. The search default is to the GCC Library and all types of formats, but you can restrict your searching to a particular campus, language, or format (books, audio-visual, etc.) if you prefer.

Click on HELP for instructions on using the catalog. This will show you how to search by author, title, subject, or keyword and how to customize your inquiry (if you wish) to restrict your search to specific locations, media, dates, or language. [Info helps to answer Coyle assignment.]
