MARQCAT
   MARQCAT is the catalog for both Raynor Memorial Libraries and the Law School.  Use it to access all of our holdings, not only books but also DVDs, videos, and CDs. 

WorldCat
   WorldCat is the largest library catalog in the world, including the holdings of an international range of institutions.  Items held by Marquette Libraries are prominently marked by a green bar.  Through a special function in WorldCat, you can order items that we do not own through Interlibrary Loan, without having to enter the information in the online ILL order form.  For more information contact John Jentz (8-5969) john.jentz@marquette.edu.
