Over the winter break, the Library Catalog was updated to work even better on your phone and on the go. Now, you can perform any type of search on your mobile device—including author, title, subject, course reserves, or ISSN—in addition to simple keyword searches. Special search tools let you focus your search on formats such as theses and dissertations, audio, video, and e-books or e-journals.
Library Catalog Functions
While browsing search results, you can mark and save multiple records to export to your email or to a citation manager program such as RefWorks or EndNote. The detailed view of a book or other item allows you to send a text message about the location and call number to your phone, format a citation in APA, MLA, or another style, locate the book with the Map it! button, and find related journal articles, encyclopedia entries, or copies in nearby libraries with Find More!

What’s Not in the Library Catalog?
Unlike article databases from Ebsco, ProQuest, the Web of Science, or others, the catalog does not generally contain individual journal, newspaper, or magazine articles. Use article databases to locate articles in journals, newspapers, or other periodicals.
Some materials do not yet have all records in the catalog; consult staff at the:
- Special Collections Department for manuscript collections and Arkansas materials
- Government Documents Department or Young Law Library for government documents
- Research Desk for information about maps, microform sets, or materials in the Center for Research Libraries
