Abstract: The online electronic catalog of the Wirtz Labor Library comprises identifying bibliographic records for Library holdings in all media and formats. Access is provided by author, title and keyword and each record includes descriptive information relative to medium, format, location and other identifying characteristics. Metadata records are included in the catalog which reference and link to virtual resources outside the Library’s physical site. Coverage is comprehensive for Library holdings from approximately from 1975 forward, based on publisher’s imprint &/or DOL acquisition. Select items and select segments of the pre-1975 holdings are also included, the usual selection criteria being historical importance &/or uniqueness and user demand. The online catalog constitutes a major component of the Library’s Integrated Library System (ILS). The online catalog is updated daily, on regular business days. The online catalog is accessible through the Internet.

Purpose: The online catalog provides access to the holdings of the Wirtz Labor Library and certain remote virtual resources cataloged as metadata records. Catalog records provide descriptive as well as access information documented in accordance with prescribed standards. The online catalog and card catalog (pre-1975) collectively comprise the Wirtz Labor Library’s primary collection management tool. The online catalog serves as a virtual access tool to DOL officers and staff as well as to individual and institutional Library users outside the Department.

Agency Program: The online catalog of the Wirtz Labor Library supports all DOL agencies by providing information access.
