Finding Slides in ImageCat. The Library's online catalog contains records of slides acquired by the Visual Resources Library after January 1998. ImageCat is a very flexible database, offering a number of searching options. Generally, a keyword search provides the needed results, but by trying different methods of searching you can see which is best for you.
