INNOPAC Gets a Facelift

On September 12, 2011, after months of work and collaboration between staff from the New Orleans and Shreveport Libraries, the revamped version of the Library's online catalog, INNOPAC, was made publicly available. Sporting a more streamlined look, the new incarnation of the catalog brings added functionality and highlights some new features introduced recently, such as the ability to find materials available for classes using the Course Reserves search.

The search box from the main page allows for Keyword, Title, Journal Title, Author, and Subject searching, but if you'd like to access additional options, the pull-down "(More Searches)" menu is the place to find these alternatives:

When accessing the catalog from on-campus or via Citrix, the search will automatically be limited to items available from the New Orleans Library. However, accessing the catalog off-campus defaults to searching the collections available at both the Shreveport and New Orleans Libraries, indicated by the alternate logo and menus at the top of the page:

Updated video tutorials featuring the revamped catalog are available to assist all patrons with using INNOPAC to find items available in Course Reserves, how to access books and journals from off-campus through the catalog, and also how to create a PIN to use off-campus resources.

If you need assistance with the new version of INNOPAC, or have any questions about any Library services, please contact the Reference librarians at either the Isché Library or the Dental Library.
