Encore 4.0

The LION search results platform was recently upgraded- here are some new features in the catalog:


  • ISBN & call number searching is now available in Encore. Type either number directly into your search box- you don't need to "tell" Encore what type of search you are performing.



  • Google Book previews are now available in the bibliographic details. Not all books will have a preview, so just check for the link below the jacket image.




  • Integrated results from online databases are now also displayed when you perform a search. The "top results" from articles are displayed after the first 3 results from books, and there is also an "Articles" option in the Format facet. If you only want results from online databases, click the "Articles" link at the top of the screen. (Please note: NetTrekker & Britannica Elementary results are currently not working but will be added soon.)








Feel free to leave and questions or comments about the changes here, or you can email the helpdesk.
