Library Holdings: Linking to a Library Catalog

If you find a reference to a particular publication during your search that interests you and you would like to find the print (or microfilm) version, you may check immediately to see if it is available at your library without leaving the Gale collection you are searching.

Depending on your library's system settings, up to three holdings links may appear as hyperlinked text (Check for this item at...) or as an icons (  or a similar icon, such as ).

If made available by your library, look for the library catalog icons or text links on the following pages:

• the results list
• the document display page
• your Marked Items list

Each text link/icon represents a specific library catalog, from your own or another library. When you click a link, the system will open in a separate browser window the corresponding library catalog results page and from there you can follow the links provided to find the location of the publicaiton within that library system. Note that in some cases, you may be directed to the catalog search page if the system has trouble finding the publication.

If you don't see your library's catalog when you click on the link, check all browser windows, as the form may be "under" another browser window. Don't forget to close all library catalog windows when you're done.
