For the purposes of collection development, the library subscribes to a product called Choice Reviews. Choice Reviews is the premier source for reviews of academic books, electronic media, and Internet resources of interest to those in higher education and is a publishing unit of the Association of College & Research Libraries, a division of the ALA.
The top toolbar lists reviews by subject area.
The toolbar also lists articles by Award, Press, etc.
Lower on the welcome page, there is also the option to browse and view Editor picks.
There is also an Advanced Search option, see the screenshot below:
You may create your own account by clicking Log In on the top toolbar. By creating your own account, you'll be able to create/save lists and create Alerts.
After doing a search, you can click the gear icon to save a book to a list.
You can save a search by clicking the Magnify Glass icon.
BEST OF ALL, you can create an alert based on your lists and searches. This will run the search at regular intervals and alert you to new results. Click on Lists > My Lists > My Saved Searches & Alerts. Choose a search and create an alert.
Instead of texting, the new JETfind uses QR codes and permalinks.
Snapping a pic of the QR codes will open the item to your phone's web browser. If you are browsing the catalog from home, loading the book's location into your phone makes it very easy to retrieve it once you are in the library. Additionally - whether you're in the library or not - QR-ingi the information also means you won't have to print each record out or write down the precise call number(s). Lastly, it's a 'greener' way to go!
Just open your smartphone's camera, hover over the QR code and the rest will happen automatically.
