We've been working behind the scenes to make Library Search faster, smarter and easier to use, and we're excited to share what's new.
Check out our new and improved Library Search, with a range of features and design improvements that make it more intuitive and efficient.
Not sure how to phrase your search? No problem. Our new natural language search lets you type your query just as you would ask it out loud. Using AI, Library Search identifies the key concepts in your question and automatically builds a search strategy behind the scenes. That means less time wrestling with search syntax and more time finding the information you need.
The upgraded Search History feature makes it easy to revisit previous searches, refine your approach or simply pick up where you left off. To protect your privacy, Search History is turned off by default. Once signed in, you can choose to switch it on or off at any time through MyLibrary.
The Report a Problem button is now available on every Library Search record, not just electronic resources. If you come across a broken link, an incorrect record or anything that doesn't look right, you can report it to us with a single click. Your feedback helps us identify and fix issues quickly, keeping Library Search working smoothly for everyone.
