The NWC Library Catalog is the contemporary version of the card catalog that provides the titles of books and documents held by the library and their location in the collection.
ACCESSING THE LIBRARY CATALOG
SEARCHING THE ONLINE CATALOG
Basic Search (Quick Search)
Use the search box from the library home page for a general keyword search. In keyword searching, the library catalog assumes the AND operator between two terms and recognizes the use of the Boolean operators OR and NOT between terms. Use quotation marks (" ") to search for a phrase of two or more words. The wildcard operator * may be used for truncation.
Example: General keyword search for "Military Leadership"
From the list of books generated from your search, click on the Title of a book to learn where the item is held in the library.
*NOTE: Notice the MATERIAL, CALL NO., and LOCATION of the item. The General Collection is on the lower level of the Library and these books can be checked out. There are 12 collections in the Naval War College Library. Note that you may not check out the items in some collections. If the status of the item is checked out then you may click Place Hold to recall the book; you will be notified via e-mail when the material is ready for you to pick up at the Service Desk.
*NOTE: Books in STORAGE
Under the Collection heading, you may find that the item you want is in storage:
Click on Place Hold if a book you want is located in storage. You will receive an e-mail notifying you the item is available for pick-up at the Service Desk (same or next day for onsite storage or up to 3 business days for off-site storage).
Advanced Search (Power Search)
Use the Power Search option to locate materials when you know the Author or the Title of the book. From the Library Catalog home page, click on the Power Search link under the Quick Search box in the middle of the page.
