What is Pathfinder?
Pathfinder is the catalog of items in most (but not all) of the UC Berkeley libraries. You can use it to find books, maps, videos, DVDs and other sound recordings, music scores, and some government documents, manuscripts, and other primary source materials. Pathfinder lists the titles of journals, magazines, and newspapers that the libraries subscribe to. However, to look up individual articles on a topic, you will need to use separate article databases. Mostly, Pathfinder is a catalog of physical items in our libraries. However, it does provide links to the electronic locations of some books, journals, and other materials. For more information on how to use Pathfinder effectively, see the other Frequently Asked Questions on this page.
