Penn State University Libraries - Tutorial: Many Ways to Search: Other Sources

Other Sources

Some of our materials are best searched using resources that you cannot yet access online. For instance, we have a card catalog of people and subjects, indexing the periodicals in which they appear (such as the Penn State Alumni News or the Faculty Bulletin). We also have an extensive in-house database, and other resources that may be of use in your research, if you contact us.
