Ornithology Collections in the Libraries at Cornell University
Cataloging Information
Since the early 1970s, all bibliographic records for titles cataloged at Cornell have
been computer-generated. Today, all of Cornell's records of ornithological books and
monographs, with bibliographic and location information for each title, are accessible in
the national library databases (RLIN and OCLC) and through the Cornell University Library Online Catalog.
Titles of ornithological journals currently received at Cornell also appear in the RLIN
and OCLC databases, with summary holdings noted. Some journals that are no longer
published, and a number of local newsletters and publications of bird clubs received by
the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, are not recorded on those databases as yet. Any record
that appears in RLIN or OCLC also appears in the Cornell University Library Online
Catalog.
The Beautiful Birds Web site also includes a searchable database with
bibliographic records for all material in the Hill Ornithology Collection housed in Kroch
Library.
