Searching the Shelves 
All computers in the library can access the Media Center's
Electronic Card Catalog. It is located on the Global Access Menu under
Media Center Programs. The Catalog identifies all the holdings (books,
etc.) of the WJHS Media Center. It is also possible to search for materials
on the MCPS
Library Catalog Online. Be sure to set the limits of your search to
Walter Johnson HS only.
If you wish to expand your research use this link to Other
Libraries. This link provides direct connections to the Montgomery
