database changes

ah those stable databases, that entity which sits and is one of the stables of our collection....you'd think they'd never change!

but in order to keep up with the search engines who make things better all the time, some of our databases are doing the same. look in the near future for these changes:

*literature resource center - on 2/19 we will turn on a new interface which is better and brighter than what you see today. all of the same content that yr used to searching will be on the site, just presented differently. look for tabs to find advanced searc, people search and works searches. more to come in momo where you will find training information and supporting documentation.

*novelist will be upgrading their search functions and features - look in march for their new look. i'll be working with Staff Development to get information posted about these changes so yr in the know, too!

how are you using these databases? pointing patrons to them lots? little? didn't know we had 'em?
