The Library Catalog of the Webster-Eden Library System contains records for all books, periodicals, videos, media materials, and other items contained in the Webster University Library and Eden Theological Seminary - Luhr Reading & Reference Library. Here are some tips for searching our library catalog, saving your searches, and renewing library materials. 

The catalog lists periodicals/journals held by the two libraries, via a print or electronic subscription. However, the catalog does not tell you which individual articles are in periodicals and journals. For that, you need an article database.  If you want to know if the full text is available in a database or here in the library, search the Journal and Magazines for the title of the periodical. 

The Webster-Eden Library System catalog is part of a larger catalog called MOBIUS which lists items owned by academic libraries in the state of Missouri and beyond. More about MOBIUS and how to request books be sent to you.

The Library of Congress (LC) standarized the subject headings so that books on the same subject are arranged on the shelf by LC call number. You may use these subject headings when searching a library article database, (see the Find Articles page of this guide), though the database tags may be different. 

Below are some subject headings and keywords that may be help for finding books and ebooks.
