About the Catalogue

The Library Catalogue contains all items and subscriptions owned or licensed by the ANU Library.

The Catalogue search is a subset of SuperSearch using filters to limit results to only Library Catalogue resources.

Catalogue records hold all the information about an item and are displayed in three parts:

Each item in the Catalogue has a call number telling you where an item can be found within a specific Library branch.

Enter your search on the homepage—you can use a phrase, a few words, or something complex.
Selecting Search lets you choose another type of search—for example title, author, subject, ISBN/ISSN.
Selecting Include lets you can choose a different scope of material to search—for example electronic only, journals only, electronic journals.
Once results have been generated, select a title for more details.
To email results to yourself, select the check box for the results you want and select save marked records to email them to yourself or print them out.

Filter results by Library to locate physical holdings in a specific Library branch.
Narrow your search topic—in the Keyword search, use more specific words or add words using AND.
Broaden your search—in the Keyword search, combine synonyms, related terms or ideas using OR.
Consider alternative spellings and variant word endings—in the Keyword search, find these using wildcard and truncation symbols, for example colo?r,comput*.
Use a Subject search to find related material.
