Introduction to Web Catalog

Spectrum Web Catalog, an Internet public access catalog, lets you access your library's catalog system.

With Web Catalog, you can search for materials using an author, title, subject, key word or phrase, call number, ISBN, or LCCN. You can also use multiple search terms and Boolean operators (and, or, and and not) to further define the search criteria for a material.

You can then view the list of found materials, display detailed information on a material, print the information in bibliographic format—even reserve a specific item.
