COA Library Catalog

 

What is the Library Catalog?

  • The COA Library catalog, called OneSearch Links to an external site., includes books and other materials located in the COA Library and will point you to their location on the shelf.
  • It also contains materials owned by other Peralta Community College Libraries (PCCD Libraries) including Laney College Library, Merritt College Library and Berkeley City College Library.
  • To access the COA Library catalog, go to the Library webpage Links to an external site. and click on Library Catalog.

 

When to use the Catalog:

  • to find out what books the library owns on your topic
  • to find where a specific item is located in the library and whether it is available
  • to find out which magazines and newspapers the library subscribes to in print (by searching the name of the magazine or newspaper).  NOTE: The library has access to thousands of online magazine and newspaper articles that are not listed in the library catalog. You will need to use the library’s article databases (found on the library webpage under Article Databases) to search for these online articles by topic.
