MICAL identifies every item in the library and will point you to its location. MICAL includes books, journals, magazines, newspapers, videos, music, reserve materials, government documents, images, and more. It also links to all of the online journals and article indexes that the University Libraries buy.

However, you won't find periodical articles by topic in MICAL. You'll need to use an article index to identify articles by topic.

• to find out what books, etc. the library owns on your topic
• to find where a specific item is located in the library

Module 3 will show you how to use MICAL.
