  • Report a Josiah Error
    If you find an error in a Josiah catalog record you can report it by clicking on “Report an Error” at the bottom of the screen — See a screenshot. The record details will be transferred to the Catalog Department – just describe the error and give us your name and email. You can also use this form to report an error in your Josiah account. Report an error.

  • Permanent Link to a Josiah record
    The only reliable way to link to an individual Josiah record is in the format, http://library.brown.edu/record=b1234567. This permanent/durable URL is now available on all Josiah records by using the “Permalink to this Josiah record” link. ( What does this look like?) Click on it to display the durable URL in the browser’s address bar, or right-click and “copy shortcut”.
