new Library catalog to debut Monday
June 11, 2010Hey all: I know it has been quite a while without a posting and I wanted to note that we will be going live with a new and updated library catalog on Monday. Check it out at: catalog2.nmsu.edu
Among the new features are:
*book cover art from Google and reviews/previews where available
*the ability to limit your search to videos from the main screen (just pull down the limit to menu)
*the ability to visually browse shelves–this is a nice idea, but remember that our catalog includes holdings from all NMSU campus libraries so this may be misleading.
*automatic citation help (cite your source using APA, MLA, etc.
If you have suggestions for improvements or notice any problems, please let your supervisor know.
Thanks!

Wow, This sounds like it will be very fun to use! I am excited to see the final result! Thanks for letting us know.
I really like the idea of being able to look at cover art for the books! This will make it a lot easier to locate a specific title- espescially the ones that have really generic names.
Read it.
I like the “also on this shelf” selection. It makes it easier to help people find something when they are looking for a subject rather than a specific book.
I like this new catalog especially the “new books” section.
Read it, thanks!
Sounds awesome. It’ll definitely be nice being able to search for just videos.
It makes it easier now, thanks!
Read it, thanks.
Read it, thanks
Cool thanks
OK READ IT, THANKS =]
Wow. I just tried the “cite this item” link; that’s pretty nifty.
I checked it out…its really good I like it
