Catalog Features

Our Collection
Jenkins' catalog of more than 240,000 titles is focused on the practicing attorney and covers Pennsylvania and the surrounding region. If you need a broader view, don’t worry -- we also have a solid core collection of general legal subject-specific material.

Enhanced Catalog Records
We've added the following helpful information to our catalog records:

  • Links to Online Versions - If there is a comparable online version of a resource, we'll provide a link to it in the Link To: section of the catalog record. Here's an example.

  • Google Books - If we are aware that Google has digitized a volume as part of its Google Book Search project, we'll provide a Google Preview button on its catalog record. Click on the button and you'll be able to preview about 20% of the book online, while still connected to the Jenkins Catalog. Here's an example.

  • Send Via Text Message - No more printing catalog records or scribbling call numbers on sticky notes. When you find a relevant resource, click on the Send Via Text Message button, enter your cell number and carrier, and the bibliographic record will be sent to your mobile phone.
