Exciting changes to our Catalog!

1) A new interface optimized for mobile devices

When you access our catalog from a mobile device you will now get a new simplified set of screens that offer many of the features that are available in the regular catalog. It is designed to work with mobile devices where users navigate the interface in either of two ways:

• Pointing device - User touches the desired option or selects it with a stylus.
• Navigation keys - User presses navigation keys (such as arrow keys) on the device key pad to move the focus up or down in a list.
   

Major features include:

• New and popular titles searches
• Quick and advanced catalog searches
• Bibliographic details and item availability information for search results
• Hold requests
• Patron account access, including renewing items and managing requests
   

2) Send a Call Number by Text Message

From the catalog's item availability display, a patron can now send an e-mail text message containing the item call number to his or her mobile phone via the mobile phone carrier’s SMTP e-mail service. If you enable this feature, a Text It icon appears next to each item in the Availability display for a title in the search results.

3) Automatic Search Suggestions

Quick, keyword, phrase, and advanced searches now offer suggested search terms as you type. You can ignore the suggestions and continue to type your search term, or click a suggestion to launch the search for the suggested term.

We hope you enjoy these new features. Let us know what you think!
