Finding Aids for Special Collections
Most of the material in Special Collections are recorded in QCAT, Queen's Library Catalogue. Some tips for locating special collections material:
- Setting the search limits to "Jordan Special Collections" location will narrow a search effectively in some cases.
Note: This limit can only be used in combination with "Title" or "Keyword" searches. - Sorting search results by Publication Date will bring the oldest materials to the top.
