- The MELVYL catalog is a computer-based library catalog of
- over 7 million unique book titles representing more than 11
- million holdings of all libraries in the nine-campus UC sys-
- tem and the California State Library. The catalog contains
- records of book and periodical (serial) holdings, and other
- materials such as maps, films, musical scores, and sound
- recordings. Collections strengths include agriculture, dry
- lands, oceanography, entomology, performing arts (especially
- film and television), photography, Californiana, materials
- on Mexico and Central America, 17th and 18th century British
- literature, health sciences, science fiction, and many oth-
- ers.
-
- The periodical file, containing more than 640,000 unique
- titles of newspapers, journals, proceedings, etc., includes
- the holdings of Stanford University, the University of
- Southern California, the nineteen-campus California State
- University system, and selected other libraries.
-
- The MELVYL catalog also includes two article abstracting and
- indexing files-MEDLINE and Current Contents. Use of these
- files, unlike the books and periodicals files, is restricted
- to the UC community. The MELVYL MEDLINE database contains
- the National Library of Medicine's MEDLINE database, which
