SAS Libraries
Definition
A SAS library contains
one or more files that are defined, recognized, and accessible by
SAS, and that are referenced and stored as a unit. One special type
of file is called a catalog. In SAS libraries,
catalogs function much like subfolders for grouping other members.
Predefined SAS Libraries

Sashelp
a permanent library
that contains sample data and other files that control how SAS works

personal settings. This is also a convenient place to store your own
