Kirtland Library Catalog
The Kirtland Library Catalog is a searchable list of all items owned by the Kirtland Library. Search the catalog to find materials available on our shelves including books, DVDs, journals, magazines, and more. The catalog also includes items from our Libby/Overdrive collection, including ebooks and e-audiobooks.

Like other college and university libraries, Kirtland organizes books according to the Library of Congress Classification (LOC) system. Public and public school libraries often use the Dewey Decimal system, and bookstores display books by genres. For help with using the LOC system, visit the Library.
