Good news! Emory’s libraries are upgrading Library Search (the library catalog) with a new interface that makes finding books, articles, and research materials easier and more efficient.
While the new interface will look and feel a little different, it will function similarly with some added enhancements:
• Search for articles and books together – Search books, articles, journals, media, and more all at once with an “everything” search we don’t currently offer. However, you will still be able to search for articles and books separately if you prefer.
• Browse by author, title, subject, or call number – Explore collections in new ways with browsing functionality.
• Book cover images – See what books look like as you browse results.
• Improved filtering – More intuitive ways to narrow results and discover relevant materials.
• Enhanced research tools – Easier saving, exporting, and citation management to support your work.
We’ll roll out a beta (test) version in late spring so you can try it out and provide feedback before we make the full switch. Your input will help us to ensure the system meets the needs of our diverse research community.
Questions? We’ll share more information and how-to guides as we get closer to launch. In the meantime, reach out to PrimoNDEFeedback [at] emory [dot] edu with any questions.
Happy researching!
