New Web-Based Library Online Catalog Will Arrive January 4

Beginning in January 2001, the Indiana University Libraries' online catalog system, IUCAT will sport a new look. According to a recent IU Libraries' press release, the new Unicorn web-based catalog produced by the SIRSI Corporation will offer the following features:

•  A fully integrated system that allows the user to move easily between IUCAT, Web resources and Windows   applications.
• The ability to search the IU Libraries' resources on all campuses.
•  Links to electronic journals and indexes.
• The ability to limit searches by campus or department library.
• A graphical interface which allows the patron to cut and paste information to other Web and Windows applications such as e-mail and word processing programs.

NOTE: Due to these significant changes in the online catalog system, new items will not be shelved and/or processed in November and December. If you find a record in IUCAT that reads On Order or In Process, please consult the library staff for further information.
