Something new
The upgraded Library catalog is up and running.
It has many new (to us) features- including book covers and a visual search. I’m enjoying playing with the visual search – I clicked on the Visual Search link (the link is in the gray bar toward the middle of the screen) .
There are a few options pictured in alphabetical order - I picked Food.
When I click on a picture, the books available in the CTC collection are displayed.
Select a book by clicking on the details tab.
Some titles will display the Table of Contents
and some extra information about the book- including reviews.
Do you see the subject links? Clicking on one of them narrows your search to just that subject!
What a superb tool to help you make the best selection.
I’m looking forward to showing classes how delightfully fun this catalog is.
I have 8 English classes scheduled next week- they are in for a treat!
