Overview

IUCATplus pulls together nearly all of the Indiana University Bloomington libraries' content, allowing you to find materials across all holdings by searching IUCAT and OneSearch@IU separately or simultaneously. Find books, media, periodicals, archival and special collections, scholarly journal articles, news items, popular publications, maps, case studies, and more with a single search.

First, select the appropriate tab for the materials you would like to search: Catalog + OneSearch@IU Results, Catalog Only Results, or OneSearch@IU Results. Then type keywords, an author's name, or even a full title in the search box, and click Search.

Note:
You must enter a search term to receive results in the IUCATplus "OneSearch@IU Results" view.
