TLCat is a National Union Catalog of Transportation Libraries. It
is the OCLC Group Catalog supported by the National Transportation
Library with the cooperation of the Midwest Transportation Knowledge
Network, the prototype regional group, and the National Pooled Fund
Study for Library Connectivity which supports State Departments of
Transportation participation. NTL makes TLCat available free to the
public. Search TLCat to locate holdings in many
transportation libraries.
TLCat provides transportation information seekers with the
ability to search the collections of many different transportation
libraries across the country.
The following documents provide additional information about
TLCat and about Transportation Libraries in OCLC.
Transportation libraries considering joining TLCat should contact

transportation libraries to participate. Participation may take several
different forms depending on the status of the institution. Contact NTL
