New Library Catalog

In 2009 we added a new interface to our catalog. It still identifies books (including online books), journal titles, government documents, music, videos, maps, and other items in the University Libraries. It can still be searched by title, author, subject, but now you can choose the format and location in your first search. There are easy ways of narrowing your search in the left column, it offers "did you mean" spelling, favorite lists, and lets you tag items with your own labels.

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: To limit your results to items written only in French, click on the "Set Limits" option on the lower right hand corner of the page before starting your search. Then select French from the list of languages, click button that says "Set Limits then click here". You will then be brought back to the search page. Then proceed with your search as usual.

WorldCat restricted
