2. CLCD Database is connected to the Butler Library Primo ALL-Search Catalog. 
You may search through the 3,000,000 titles in CLCD by selecting Universe of Books. These are titles we my not necessarily have access to. However, by selecting SUNY Buffalo State University, you can limit your search to only the titles available in E. H. Butler Library Curriculum Materials Lab.

3. When searching for titles in the Universe of Books, results that feature a RED HEART after the title are featured in the Butler Library Curriculum Materials Lab. This means that the title most likely available to be checked out. 

This shows three results from a search in CLCD. The third result has a red heart after the title, indicating the book is part of the Butler Library Collection

4. After an initial search you can continue to add filters to your search on the left side pane.
