LibrarySearch Overview

A guide introducing the various features of the new LibrarySearch interface

Print Items

Physical items will have information listed to help you locate it. The information you need will be the building, the collection location, and the item call number. 

Location information will appear in the result list and within the individual record. You can choose to search "Library Catalog" or select the "Held by library" filter to narrow your results to primarily print items. Use the additional facets to narrow your results further.

Online Items

If the library has online access to a resource, there will be one or more ways to access it, depending on the type of resource and the type of access:

  • Get PDF - Downloads a pdf file directly to your computer.
  • Read Online- Goes to a web page or database with the article. Depending on the publisher/provider, various options for downloading or copying may be available
  • Available Online - Goes to the "Online access" section of the full record in LibrarySearch, which lists links to all the online options for that source. Often there is just one link, but some will have multiple links, which may be formatted differently depending on the publisher/provider
