New Look for LibrarySearch

Starting the week of July 13, the Libraries’ search system will get a refreshed look and feel!

New LibrarySearch search results page example

The new user interface is built on a modern responsive web framework and designed to provide improved adherence to accessibility standards. As before, you will still be able to search across the St. Thomas Libraries’ physical and electronic collections, discover and request materials from other libraries, and manage saved records and searches through your LibrarySearch account.

What’s changed?

    • Search bar remains at the top of the page as you scroll through search results
    • New share, cite, export, and save icons

Help Shape the Future of LibrarySearch! (Concluded)

Please take a few minutes to complete our brief user experience survey to share how you currently use LibrarySearch and what improvements would make your research process easier. The St. Thomas Libraries, in collaboration with our consortium MnPALS, is in the process of evaluating LibrarySearch. Sometimes referred to as the “Google search of the library” or the library catalog, LibrarySearch is the online tool used to find everything from scholarly articles to books to digital media. We want this system to work intuitively for YOU, whether you are a professor preparing course materials, a student working on research, or staff supporting university programs.

This is your chance to help design a search experience that makes finding resources easier and more efficient for everyone in our campus community. Don’t miss this opportunity to improve how you discover and access the information you need! If you have any questions, please contact Karen Brunner, Associate Director for Research, Education & Engagement (brun4952@stthomas.edu).
