Finding Books on or by Delaware
Subjects in DELCAT:
Entries may be displayed under "Del." in an alphabetical list. In some cases, the word "Delaware" may not appear in the record; keyword searching will not retrieve these publications. Always supplement keyword search with a Browse by Subject in DELCAT.
Example:
- New Castle County (Del.)
- Newark (Del.)
State Agencies in Authors and Subjects in DELCAT:
For Delaware state agencies, the abbreviation "dept." often appears instead of the word "Department."
Example:
- Delaware. Dept. of Correction
If there are questions about the name of a Delaware agency, see the list Agency Histories or ask at the Reference Desk.
In WorldCat Local, both "dept." and "Department" will be retrieved in a search for either one.
