HAWAII STATE PUBLIC LIBRARY CATALOG
NHL LIBRARY CATALOG
The Native Hawaiian Library has a number of catalog options
for our three categories of library collections:
1. Most materials in our library catalog, which is under construction,
are classified according to the Dewey Decimal System, just
like
the public
library system, and many of the items in this collection can
also be
found through the public
library system Our collection includes
books for people of all ages, primarily on Hawaiiana, with
some of the books written in the Hawaiian
language. This is also where you will find general interest
(not just Hawaiiana) books, and multi-media titles including
DVDs,
videos, CDs, and cassette tapes.
2. The Data Resource Center
collection, which is classified
according to a unique documents classification system, does
not circulate and is used primarily by researchers and others
requiring
data. Although the materials cannot be checked out, you can
request copies of most materials at a cost of $.25 per page.
This collection
contains a lot of information on Hawaiian history, culture,
environment, social issues, genealogy, census information,
and much more.
Since most titles will not be known, a keyword search for most
of these materials is recommended.
3. The library has quite a number of quilt designs created
by Hannah Ku‘umililani Cummings Baker, which you
are invited to come in and trace, although the patterns themselves
cannot
be checked out. See below.
