What is the library catalog?

Library Catalog logo image

The ACC Library Catalog is a searchable list of all the books, ebooks, DVDs and streaming videos in the ACC Libraries' collection.

Ways to Search

When you search the catalog you can choose how you want to search. Some of the most commonly used are Keyword, Author, Title or LC Subject. Keyword is the default search, and is the best search for most things.

You can also limit by campus location, only audio visual, or only online resources. Search defaults to View Entire Collection, unless you choose a specific location.
