Geological & Planetary Sciences (GPS) Mudd Library: How to Search

Welcome to Geological & Planetary Sciences Library services at Caltech!

***New catalog interface coming; finding ebooks in catalog***

March 6:

We will be migrating to a new library catalog interface on March 20. Please preview the new interface here. The interface will be simpler and more accessible. For help using the new interface, please visit our LibGuide.

While the transition is occurring, if you are looking for specific ebooks, it will NOT show in our current catalog from March 6 until the new launch.

Please use Publication Finder if you want to find specific ebooks.

Any questions, please contact us.
