Catalogues
Explore our holdings through our online catalogues or use online resources (see lists below) to find out more generally about books of Scottish relevance or books held in Scottish libraries. Not all our catalogues are automated, so manual catalogues tells you about additional catalogues that you can consult when you visit us. And the links page provides a useful list of interesting websites relating to Scotland and the library world. |
Maps
Although you can search for maps using the main catalogue, the most direct way to browse a selection of significant Scottish maps (1560-1928) is through the Maps feature in our Digital Library.
