Books and Journals in Print (Life Sciences Library)

Finding and Locating Materials in the Collection

Use IUCAT, the computerized catalog of holdings for all of the Indiana University Libraries, to determine whether material is located in the Life Sciences Library or at another IU library. Searches can be performed by author, title, periodical title, series, subject, or keyword.  Please consult with a library staff if you have any questions about the availability of materials.
