Classic Library Catalog open access

WMU's Classic online catalog (also known as WestCat), is used to identify books (including electronic books), government documents, journals, audio and video, slides, music scores, and other items in the University Libraries' collections. The catalog can be searched by title, author, subject heading, keyword, call number, and more.

Librarian's Comment: In the Basic Search enter the last name first (example: dickinson, emily) and choose to Search by Subject Headings. This works best for well know people about whom we own more than one book. You may get more results from an Advanced search. Example: Emily Dickinson (as a phrase) AND biography.

WorldCat restricted

Comprehensive catalog of books and other materials in libraries around the world. Contains millions of records in hundreds of languages. Non-book materials include (among other publication formats) the titles of journals and magazines, manuscripts, maps, electronic resources, websites, computer programs, music scores, films, slides, sound recordings, conference proceedings, and videotapes. Items located through WorldCat must be requested through Interlibrary Loan unless they are also listed in the WMU Libraries catalog.
