Using NYUAD Library's Catalog

An overview of features in NYUAD Library's online catalog (search.abudhabi.library.nyu.edu).

Basic Steps

If you encounter an error using the catalog or accessing online resources, complete the following steps:

  • Clear your browser's cache
  • Use another browser
  • Access the resources via the catalog links, not directly on third-party sites
  • Activate NYU VPN

If you still encounter the errors, report them to the library by email. Includes as many details as possible, such as the name of the resource, the wording of the error message, your machine (Windows or Mac), browser, and IP address, etc. Library staff will investigate and follow up with you once the issue is resolved.

Common Errors
