To Find Materials
BOOK
The Library catalogue for books is two parts: the OPAC (online catalog) and the card catalog. Remember to check both the OPAC and the card catalog (for older titles) before assuming that the Library does not have a particular item.

OPAC is listing materials processed since 1989. Older records are gradually transferred from the card catalog.
Older materials not found in the OPAC are listed in the card catalog.

JOURNAL
All journal titles are listed in the OPAC.
