The Catalog of Copyright Entries published by the copyright office before 1978 is available at most depository libraries and has scanned copies of most volumes available online. It's sufficient for many searches. It does not have all of the information for an entry that the index cards at the copyright office has. The big missing piece that I remember is the address of the filer.
