Marymount Library Rolls Out New Catalog

Marymount College Library Catalog
Marymount College Library is pleased to announce the roll out of a new catalog for finding books, articles and other formats.

Search Results Page Showing Various FormatsWith the start of the new academic year, students, faculty and staff at Marymount College now have an easier way to discover library resources available to them.  The new catalog improves on the Library's previous catalog by showing users not only what is in the Library's print collection, but also retrieves relevant results from many of the electronic resources the Library subscribes to, giving researchers convenient access to the content of thousands of electronic journals, magazines and newspapers.


The new system also searches the holdings of libraries around the world.  While users will first see results available to them from Marymount College, they can also easily discover additional items located at other libraries and can then request to borrow or get a copy of those items through Interlibrary Loan.

Users will also find it much easier to manage their library account using the new system.  Once logged into, they can check the due dates of books, renew items online, keep track of books placed on hold and see if they have any overdue fines.

To get started with the new catalog, check out this quick video on how to search for books.
