Goodbye Library catalogue, Hello Library Search
From September 2012 we will be changing the library catalogue in its current form to Library Search. Whilst it still contains all the information contained in the library catalogue, Library Search allows you to locate books, e-books, journal articles and a whole lot more using a single search.
Library Search is available from anywhere - just click on the link from the library homepage or use the search box directly from the top left hand corner of the website. A mobile friendly version is also available for you to browse onto your smartphone or tablet device, simply go to http://libsearch.ncl.ac.uk.
Library Search is available on touchscreen units throughout the Library - helping you to locate books on the shelves.
There are some specific functions which will still require you to use or view the old library catalogue:
- Requesting an Inter-Library Loan
- Booking a 4 hour loan item (Student Texts Collection)
- Items linked from the Reading List System
Over the next few weeks we will be building this functionality into Library Search.
A link to the old library catalogue can be also found on the Library Search homepage.
