The Grinnell College Libraries' online catalog and Web
pages will lead you to materials within the libraries and
beyond. Always feel free to contact a librarian by stopping
by the library, emailing, or telephoning. You can make an
appointment or take advantage of the reference desk hours.
You'll find telephone numbers, emails, and reference desk
hours here (Ask a Librarian)
and here (Consulting Librarians).
The Libraries' Online Catalog leads you to books, journals,
newspapers Web sites, recordings, music scores, electronic
databases, and print indexes, reference materials, and more.
You may link from the catalog to an online site or to the
call number for and location for that item held in Burling,
Science, Curriculum Library, or A/V Center (ARH or Listening
Room in Burling). For more information see a librarian or
consult some of our instruction guides.
To find all of the above--books, journals, newspapers,
Web sites, recordings, music scores ...in most languages
and from libraries throughout the United States and around
the world search WorldCat.
To obtain materials you find through Worldcat you'll want
to use interlibrary
loan.
Grinnell College Libraries subscribes to databases and
print indexes for finding journal articles and other research
materials that are more general in nature as well as to
those that are specific to studying literature, history,
and French literature in particular. Some databases will
provide links to the actual articles and citations to materials
that will either be in print in the libraries or that you'll
need to get through interlibrary loan. Some databases may
include primary source material.
Also see the Libraries' guide to finding
books, finding scores, and finding AV material.
