Find maps in the library catalog

The Alaska Library Catalog searches the collections of over 80 Alaska libraries. To find maps in the catalog available in Juneau area libraries, search for MAP and the location name (for example, MAP ANCHORAGE), and set the All Collections drop-down menu to "Juneau area libraries".

Once you retrieve results, there is a way to limit to MAP as the format, on the left side of the screen:
