Xternal Libraries and Training Bulletin #45

BY: Ann Snowman

When browsing the CAT we sometimes run across an item with a non-library location, for example, “Leave the light on : a memoir of recovery and self-discovery” by Jennifer Storm, located in Boucke. These items are held by Associate or Affiliate Libraries at University Park. These highly focused collections are not University Libraries’ collections per se, but are
maintained by the various University departments and organizations that house them. University Libraries catalogs them and includes them in our catalog to make them discoverable.

Training Bulletin #45 provides an explanation of these materials and how to gain access to them. The term XTernal comes from a note field in the Workflows record that describes the item as something other than a University Libraries holding.
