We're launching a beta version of our Library search! We'd love for you to try it out and share your thoughts on its functionality and usability.
We hope that this platform will provide a straightforward way to discover most of the library’s materials, both print and online. We’ve divided the search results up by material type, so if you’re looking for an article, you don’t need to wade through the books (and vice versa). Both print and electronic versions of a title will appear, so you should be good no matter which format you prefer. One sign in will give you access to both access electronic material and to place requests.
You can access the new platform here, to try it out and give us your feedback: https://libcattest.canterbury.ac.nz/. We really appreciate your feedback – and to prove it, all feedback that comes with contact details goes in the draw to win one of five prize packs full of delicious goodies.
