Library search improvements to our online catalogue
We are currently upgrading the search features of our online catalogue. It is expected that this upgrade, which incorporates some exciting new features, will go live later this Summer.
With this upgrade, we will roll out some new features which we feel will enhance the user experience. Some of the new features include, Browse Search and the Virtual Shelf Tab. These new features are described below.
The Browse Search page allows you to browse library material (local material only) by author, title, and subject heading.
When you have done your search and you have results, you can select an underlined entry to see its associated records.
Selecting on the entry link will bring you to the list of records.
There will be more announcements with regards to the new search improvements to our catalogue in the near future.
