What was the 'Beta Catalog' last year has become the main library catalog this year. When you click on the link under the heading - Find Books - on the Library home page you will get the search screen pictured here.
A couple of cool new features you should know about:
- You can select from this screen if you want results just from Feinberg library or you can expand to Quick Delivery Libraries (usually getting items in about 48 hours) or you can search Worldwide using WorldCat.
- When you click to view the full record Google Books is now loaded into the record if it is in their collection. Most books are not completely full text - but it gives you quite a bit of content to judge if the book will be useful for you.
- When your initial search results load - check out the side-bar on the left. It will give you a list of how many items were found if you change your library option and provides a few other limits to narrow down your search results.
If you prefer to use the previous version of the library catalog you can do so by clicking on 'Search Feinberg' under the 'Find Books and More' drop down menu.
