cat·a·log:
noun:
1. a systematic, usu. annotated, list of books, merchandise, or the like that is available in or from a source such as a library or mail order merchandiser.
--Wordsmyth Dictionary-Thesaurus, 2003. [http://www.wordsmyth.net/]
When you don't find a needed source on the Internet, a citation can be used to find the source somewhere else, typically in a library.
The source for discovering what a library owns and where they keep it
is a catalog.
The library catalog is a database of everything a library owns; but
its records don't include article titles, and rarely include chapter titles.
So, don't search for article or chapter titles.
Search for book, journal, magazine, or newspaper titles.
