Center for Research Libraries Debuts New Catalog

The Center for Research Libraries (CRL) has a newly designed catalog of CRL collections (http://www.crl.edu/). New features include:

· English and French dual-language interfaces
· Scoped searches within individual collections, such as dissertation, newspaper, serial and electronic resources
· The e-resources scope covers 4,000-plus full text online titles which are available through the catalog to CRL member institutions.
· Improved relevancy ranking logic in search results display

In addition to standard search capabilities, unique browsing functions have been built to enhance discovery of CRL resources:

· Browsing by country and awarding institution in the dissertation scope
· Browsing by country and U.S. State in the newspaper scope

At the bottom of the search screens, there is an opportunity for you to provide feedback.
