Library Holdings and Availability Information

Records in the LC Catalog display holdings and availability information for items — including their call numbers or shelf location, the Library reading room where they must be requested, and their availability status. Items stored offsite may require additional time to be delivered to the Library campus. Note as well that LC Catalog records may indicate the Library holds one copy of a work, even though additional copies may actually be available in the Library's collections.

Please consult reference staff if you have questions about the holdings or availability of Library materials.
