What Every New International Student Should Know

Search ASA, the Online Catalog, For Books, Journals and Other materials

Need to get started...look up some reference books? Want to know if we carry a particular journal? Your professor asks you to find a newspaper article on microfiche? ASA, our online catalog named after Lehigh's founder, Asa Packer, is your first stop for searching the library collections of books, journals, government documents, multimedia, special collections, and electronic resources. You can link directly to electronic publications, check the reserves list, borrow a book through PALCI, and see the due dates for all those books you borrowed.

Library terminology can be confusing. For instance, "ILL" means "interlibrary loan" not "sick." For definiations and a list of equivalent terms in several languages, please see the Multilingual Glossary.
