The Main Catalog is your primary tool for finding books in the Princeton University Library. You can also use the catalog to find other materials, including videos, sound recordings, Internet sites, and journals (the journals themselves- not individual articles).

To find an item when you know the title or author, use the Basic Search. Use the Guided Search to search by subject; forumulate terms based on your intuition, then look at the Long View feature to see the full record display. You'll see the offical Library of Congress subject headings that have been designated to describe the item.

When you find an item you'd like to see, make a note of the location, call number, and status as indicated in the catalog record. See the list of location codes for help determining in which library collection the item is held. The call number shows where in the collection the item should be, and the status tells you whether the book is available or not. For more information on the call numbers used at Princeton and for help with locating a book in Firestone, see the Library Call Numbers & Locations page.
