Library online catalogue

There are three online catalogues and visitors to our site can use the 'switch database' option on the entry page to go between them.

The database on entry is CAT i.e. the catalogue containing details of:

  • all our serial holdings
  • most books published before 1860
  • all books acquired since 1993.

If you are looking for a particular book published before 1993 then you will need to check our card catalogue in our Reading Room.

Our art works are in the process of being catalogued with funding from the Michael Marks Trust. The emerging art and archives catalogues can be searched by using the 'Switch database' function in the catalogue to 'Art' or 'Arc' respectively

ARC is our trial archives catalogue, contains a limited number of records, if you cannot find what you want please check with our archivist by emailing library@zsl.org.

ART is our developing art catalogue.

Please look at the following for information about the online catalogue.
