Digital Library Catalogues
An increasing percentage of collections are digital so an Internet based catalogue is preferred.
It not only allows easy access wherever one has a connection, but it provides direct access to an increasing number of resources.
We recommend an integrated library catalogue that brings all materials, whether print or digital and wherever located together for easy retrieval.
