Which Catalog Should I Use?

Which Catalog Should I Use?

Looking for a book? Either catalog can be searched, however it's best to use the new Library Catalog if you are visiting the FamilySearch Library in person. Looking for a microfilm or microfiche? Either catalog can be searched, however it's best to use the existing FamilySearch.org Catalog because it includes access to many of the microfilms and microfiche physically located in either the FamilySearch Library or the FamilySearch Archives, along with links to their digital images, if accessible digitally.
