CONSULS - This is where you can find books, journals (magazines) titles, & media (videos, DVDs, music CDs, etc.) in the library's collection. By using the online catalog called CONSULS, you are actually searching the collections of Eastern (E), as well as Western CT State University (W), Central CT State University (C), Southern CT State University (S), and The Connecticut State Library (SL).
