New York Public Library
The New York Public Library comprises a set of scholarly research collections and a network of community libraries, and its intellectual and cultural range is both global and local. The research collections (for reference only, and organized as The Research Libraries, with four major centers) resemble the holdings of great national and university libraries, and the community circulating libraries (organized as The Branch Libraries) resemble classic American municipal libraries. The New York Public Library Online, the library’s online catalogue, can be found at: http://leopac.nypl.org/
