NCAC Online Catalog

The NCAC Online Catalog is the central database of records for knowledge resources owned by the organization. Think of it as an inventory of information resources. It includes materials physically located in the Research Library, the Clinical Library, and the Parents Library.

The NCAC Online Catalog contains records of the following types of resources owned by the organization:

• Books, technical reports, dissertations and other
• Videotapes and other audiovisual materials
• Journals and other periodical publications (years owned, etc)

The Online Catalog does not include articles in journals or chapters in books. To search for articles and chapters, use a bibliographic database.
