David Bolotine , Head The Cataloging Department organizes and prepares monographic materials for use by the University and online communities. Serials are cataloged by the Serials Department . The technical cataloging process is accomplished by creating a bibliographic record for each item, using machine-readable data, which then is made globally available through the library's electronic catalog, Stars . Each item is physically prepared and distributed to the Main Stacks or the appropriate branch library. The collection includes books, maps, microforms, computer files, videotapes and sound recordings.
Monographs are in most European and Asian languages and span over five centuries.
Questions about the location of materials should be address to either the Reference or Circulation desks. Questions about the accuracy of the data on Stars , or those of a technical nature, should be addressed to the Cataloging Department. Revised February 15, 2000.
