How to use the library catalog
The library catalog allows you to locate our books, DVDs, periodicals, and more. This is also where you can access your library account to renew or reserve items.
Searching the catalog is easy! Just type what you are looking for in the Search box and hit enter. Check to see if the library has it (displays “Held by Laguna College of Art & Design”), then note the status of availability, followed by the shelving location and call number. Search the catalog
