About our library information systems

The Catalogue

The Catalogue is a search and discovery tool that provides results from the library's online and print collections in a single search. It includes titles of printed books, journals, manuscripts, letters, and other material available at the libraries of Leiden University as well as links to the full-text of millions of, mainly, English journal articles and digital images of prints and manuscripts.


Digital Special Collections

Digital Special Collections contains images and descriptions of, among others, manuscripts, maps, prints and archives from the holdings of the Special Collections of Leiden University Library.
