What’s with the Beta?

By now you may have noticed the “Try our new Beta Catalog” link on the library home page.

For the Spring semester Feinberg will be participating in the testing of this new catalog system.

This is your chance to help shape the design, interface and features of this new search tool for you and future students. Use the Feedback link at the bottom of the screen in the new catalog to give the designers your thoughts and suggested improvements.

This new catalog system includes the stuff in Feinberg Library as well as 50 other regional libraries (which can deliver a book to you within 3 days). It offers a different type of interface and different options once you get your results – check out the word cloud (a la Delicious).
