We launched the new catalogue in June after a period of almost 12 months planning and testing.
We hope you like the many new features of the catalogue, here’s some information about what’s new:
- A powerful search tool for all print and electronic resources resulting in more resources at your fingertips
- Seamless access to your library account from within the VLE so no need to leave the Blackboard environment to view your checked out items
- Fairer fines for all and an automatic book renewal service – the library will renew items for you so you can get on with other things, fines will only be charged on items reserved by other borrowers
- An attractive re-designed interface with quick links to Reading Lists Online, Refworks Flow and Discover More
The new catalogue is just part of a suite of changes but if you have any questions or you can’t find what you need in the catalogue or our tool ‘Discover More‘ please tell us so we can help you. We will be undertaking extensive user testing over the next three months and will need all your feedback as we seek to improve on the initial design and functionality.
For more information about the changes or your resources in Blackboard, please contact your subject librarian.
