News from the State Library of Victoria
New online catalogue
The Library’s new online catalogue launched in November last year, and we are keen to hear your feedback.
As well as a shiny new look, the revamped catalogue boasts a number of improvements that make searching and discovering the Library’s collection even easier.
The catalogue’s features include:
- a new Quick article search that searches across numerous online journals and magazines and returns results in record time
- larger thumbnails that link directly to digitised images
- tabs that enable you to view the details of a record and make requests without leaving your search results page
- improved article database searching that allows you create a custom set of sources to search
- more options for precise searching – you can search specific fields like the publisher name or the place a newspaper was published
- a calendar that makes requesting items for another day quick and simple
- persistent URLs in the record details so you can easily link to individual records
Take a look at the new catalogue and let us know what you think.
