Stanford's online catalog, Socrates, has a record for most of the items that Stanford's libraries own or have licensed for your use. These include:

• Books & e-books
• Journals & e-journals
• Newspapers & magazines
• Government documents and CD-ROMS
• Video recordings & DVD's
• Music & musical scores

The Stanford University library system consists of 20 libraries: Green Library (the Humanities and Social Sciences library – take the Online Tour), branch libraries and coordinate libraries. Take a closer look: Libraries and Collections.

Socrates shows records of materials in all libraries on campus. Remember: you will not find individual articles in Socrates. For that, you must use a periodical index.
