Will the catalog show ALL of the books an author has written, or only show the ones the library owns?
- A.
  
  All of an author's books
- B.
  
  Only the ones the library owns
Correct Answer
B. Only the ones the library owns

Explanation
The catalog will only show the books that the library owns. This means that if the library does not have a particular book written by an author, it will not be listed in the catalog. The catalog is a database of the library's collection, and it is designed to provide information about the books that are available for borrowing from the library. Therefore, it does not include books that the library does not have in its possession.
