Preview: Discovery Service and eJournal A-to-Z list

You can now preview our new Discovery Service, tentatively called Search-A-Roo. Our library catalog is included in Search-A-Roo, as well as the OhioLINK catalog and the vast majority of our databases and electronic resources. We intend for Search-A-Roo to be live from the library’s main homepage toward the end of this September. Currently we are in test mode only.

Be aware that we are still customizing this service, and you should expect to see random changes in displays, results, and search functionality as we work through this roll-out process. Also, the catalog data in Search-A-Roo is about 6 weeks older than what is actually in our catalog. When we are fully implemented the coverage difference will be minimized.

As part of our transition to the new Discovery Service we are also migrating our eJournal A-to-Z list. The A-to-Z list is important not only because it allows us to find our electronic journals easily, but also because it helps the LinkSource link resolver locate full text.

One place the new A-to-Z list will eventually appear is in LibGuides. You can preview the A-to-Z list in LibGuides by using this link. Be patient, it may take a moment to completely load:

You may notice that it allows you to limit a search to ebooks. You may find books contained in aggregator databases such as Education Research Complete, the OhioLINK EBC, and similar databases. Note that it does not currently include an individual ebooks that we may have in our collection.
