The card catalogue in the Russell Library, is replicated in the John Paul II Library where the catalogue is to be found in the bank of drawers beside the lift. There is a single sequence of cards, arranged by author. The card catalogue in the Russell Library has a separate sequence for the pamphlet collection.
