Using the CatalogsQuotation Books For Specific Individuals General instructions for locating materials are given in Research Guide, How Do I Find a Book?. The following information is specific to the topic at hand. Many of the books dealing with quotations are housed in the stacks and access to them is only through the catalogs of the Research Libraries. Materials received by the Library prior to 1972 are catalogued in the Dictionary Catalog; those received in 1972 and thereafter are catalogued in CATNYP, the online catalog. Both catalogs offer a wide selection of quotation dictionaries, but each has its own system of subject headings for this area. In the Dictionary Catalog, general anthologies of quotations are found under the subject heading Quotations, which begins on page 399 of volume 604; those collections with a specific mode of organization are located under the subject heading Quotations-Dictionaries, beginning on page 416 of volume 604. CATNYP places general collections of quotations under the subject heading Quotations; to find these choose either the subject or keyword access on the menu, and then type in the word quotations. This command will provide a list of all quotation books, both general and subject-oriented, acquired by the Library since 1972.
