Section 1 - Introduction
The Scarborough Phillips Library contains over 150,000
volumes. How do you find that one volume that will explain the secret ceremonies
of the Bantu peoples of central Africa? You use the online catalog. Like most
other academic libraries, the Scarborough-Phillips Library no longer has a card
catalog. Converting the card catalog to a computer database format provided library
users with faster and more effective access to catalog records. But along with
speed and effectiveness came the necessity of learning basic skills to successfully
utilize library collections. The objective of Lesson 2 is to help you become familiar
with using the Scarborough-Phillips Library Online Catalog.
