Searching the Emory Library Catalog

The Emory Catalog should be used to search for additional sources available to you and may be accessed from the MacMillan Law Library Website. Call numbers can be used to find books in the catalog and on the shelves. Subject terms searches can be used to find every resource tagged with that particular term, which is an excellent way to identify relevant works. Some helpful examples of both are provided below.
