New Library Catalog

For the past year we have been experimenting with and tweaking a new form of our library catalog which has become the default way to search our catalog. It is meant to be more of a discovery tool. I am thrilled that it no longer gets hung up on articles (a, an, the) in front of a title, lets you search for an author either first or last name first, and offers "did you mean" spelling suggestions. It is easier to narrow your search by format (books, e-books, videos, etc.), location, author, year. It lets you create lists of favorites or to tag items in the catalog. It still does searches by author, title, subject, etc., but if for some reason you don't like this new interface, or there was something the old catalog did that this new one doesn't quite do the way you would like, the old "classic" catalog is still there for you to use.
