Butler Library Search is what librarians call a "discovery layer", which serves as a one-stop search tool designed to provide access to nearly all of Butler Libraries' physical and electronic resources in a single search.
It searches the shared print catalog of all PALNI (Private Academic Library Network of Indiana) member libraries, giving you access to physical holdings across the entire consortium, not just Butler's own collection. It is also connected to most of the databases to which Butler Libraries subscribes, making electronic resources readily discoverable alongside print materials.
Through Butler Library Search, you can find:
- Print books and eBooks
- Journal, magazine, and newspaper articles
- Streaming videos and DVDs
- Audio files, CDs and vinyl records
- Special collections items
- Dissertations and theses
Whether you're beginning a research project or looking for a specific item, Butler Library Search is your starting point for exploring the full breadth of the Libraries' collections.
