Several National Library of Scotland catalogues, indexes and databases are available online to help you find items in our collections.
Main catalogue
The main catalogue provides a single search of records from our main catalogue alongside details of manuscript and archives, moving image and digital collections, and electronic publications and databases.
Also in this section
Scottish Bibliographies Online: This was a database with three separate components which had records of material held at the National Library and elsewhere. It is being redeveloped as part of the National Bibliography of Scotland.
Bibliography of Scottish Literature in Translation: This resource, listing foreign translations of the works of Scottish authors from 1500 onwards, is no longer maintained, although you can still consult archived data.
