New Service Finds Items Added to The Universal Catalog
12/16/06

CARLI is rolling out a new service that easily identifies items newly added to I-Share, the Voyager Universal Catalog, which currently contains the holdings of 65 CARLI libraries.

Try it out at: http://i-share.carli.illinois.edu/newbooks/ucnewbooks.cgi. Search for specific title or author keywords, or leave that box blank and see everything new to I-Share libraries in the last 1-30 days. Click on a title you’ve found to view the full record in the I-Share catalog, the item’s location and availability, and where allowed, place requests. Set up RSS feeds of your favorite searches to automatically send an update when new books are added

In coming weeks CARLI will build links to this service into the I-Share Universal Catalog interface at http://i-share.carli.illinois.edu. Soon I-Share libraries will have the option to offer a version of this service that is scoped to their own collection, and that may be accessed from the library’s own Voyager catalog interface or library web page. Details will be announced in January.
