Frustrated by complicated search tools? Ever wish you could search the University Libraries’ rich collection with a tool as simple as Google?

Good news: you can. We’re proud to introduce Library Search, a new information discovery tool that lets you search the Libraries’ online catalogs or for journal articles. Over time, we’ll add more resources like locally-created digital collections.

Some key features of LibrarySearch:

• Google-like searching. Just enter a keyword or two and hit Go to get started


• Relevance ranking for results (or re-sort results by publication date).


• Faceted browsing to narrow your search results. Once your search has returned results, review and click the facets on the right side of the screen to limit your results


• Direct access to free online materials and access to restricted online materials via FindIt


• The ability to post reviews of items you’ve used or tag items for later retrieval
