Other Catalogs
Catalogs are databases of bibliographic records of books, journals, newspapers, electronic files, and other media collected by a particular library (such as the Museum Library's Catalog). Union catalogs provide access to the inventories of multiple libraries and they indicate the items owned by each library.
