What is in the Local Catalog?
The Local Catalog represents the holdings of the Syracuse University Library, the Barclay Law Library, and Moon Library at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. The Local Catalog lists books, journals, maps, sound recordings, microforms, government documents, and other materials in the collections of these libraries.

What is NOT in the Local Catalog?
The Local Catalog does not provide access to the contents of the journals that the Libraries have in their collections. For subject access to articles in periodicals such as journals, magazines, and newspapers you will need to use a periodical index. See the Databases Main Menu for a list of electronic indexes/databases.

Who can access the Local Catalog?
We do not restrict access to the Local Catalog. It is available to anyone who visits the Library or who has access to the World Wide Web. Some library services (such as recalls or other requests) may be restricted to current students, faculty, and staff of Syracuse Unversity and the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. These services require a username and password.
