Reference Help: Library Catalogs

The Enterprise Catalog is available via the Library Catalog tab at the center of the library homepage.

For a Basic Search, type a word or phrase in the top Keyword box.

Then limit your search to the Library Catalog option (second box).

Then limit your search using the Field option (third box).

Use the Advanced Search option to search Multiple Fields simultaneously (author, title, subject) or to exclude unwanted words.

The Classic Catalog is available via the Collections drop down menu in the top black bar of the library homepage.

The OneSearch is our Discovery tool, allowing you to conduct one search to find items in our catalogs AND many of our databases. You can start a Basic search in the OneSearch from the Library Homepage by entering search terms in the single box provided there, or you can click on the words OneSearch Advanced to create a more sophisticated search using multiple search boxes.

If you like to browse the stacks, check out the Library of Congress Classification Outline to find call numbers for your topic.

If you only need a few pages, a chapter, or an article from an item that we have in our print collection, submit a Document Delivery request form and we will scan those pages for you.

Cannot find items you need for your research?

• Materials not owned by Fordham can be requested through Interlibrary Loan.
