e-reserves in the Main Library System or the Health Sciences Library,
then search by course or instructor.
Remember that not all items are available on e-reserves. If you can’t
find what you are looking for by searching on e-reserves, follow the
link for “paper reserves” and login as “reserves" to search for items
available at the Reserve Desk in Davis Library. Other reserve materi
als may be found at the branch libraries.
Material on e-reserves is available to eligible off-campus users. Go to
proxy.lib.unc.edu for information on configuring your browser for off
campus access. Other software requirements can be found by follow
ing the “Information for Students” link.

UNC-CH
Online Catalog
What IS the Online Catalog?
It’s the best way to find what the Libraries have on any given subject,
since it lists most of the books, journals, and other materials held in all
the campus libraries. It’s easy to use the Online Catalog from any library
computer or remotely from any PC that's connected to the Internet. At
www.lib.unc.edu, click on “Online Catalogs,” or telnet to
library.unc.edu-
Whether you access the UNC-CH Online Catalog via the Web or tel
net, you are searching the same database and retrieving holdings for
all campus libraries. Reference staff can assist you in using the catalog.
What is in the Online Catalog?
• Records for most items in the Libraries
• Information about where a book is located and whether it is
checked out
• Internet hot links to electronic journals, newspapers, and databases.
What is NOT in the Online Catalog?
Records for some of the materials cataloged before 1975, most U.S.
government documents published before 1972, and most materials in
the Maps Collection. See the card catalog or consult a librarian.
How can I search the Online Catalog?
• By author, title, subject, keyword, and call number
• Reserve items have specialized search options.
How can I access electronic resources?
Via the Libraries’ home page (www.lib.unc.edu). Select “Resources”
or use the Quick Links at the top of the page to “Electronic Journals"
or “Electronic Indexes and Databases.”
