Library Catalogs and Databases by Category

Catalogs are lists of materials an institution owns or to which it has access. At Case Western Reserve University, the catalog is EuclidPLUS. EuclidPLUS includes information about print and electronic materials, both monographic and serial.


Databases are collections of data organized for rapid search and retrieval by a computer. In libraries they are primarily bibliographic in nature, indexing journals, meetings and sometimes books. An example of a database is PubMed.


Search engines look for information on the Web. Examples are Google, Yahoo, Bing and Scirus.
