discoverE

Use discoverE to Refine a Subject Search: Depending on what terms you're using in your research, your query to discoverE may return hundreds, if not thousands, of results. That can be more than a little overwhelming, especially if you're in a rush, as so many of us are when we're working on projects. Refining those results to give you a more focused search may be just what you're looking for.

On Monday, October 10, 2011, Emory Libraries will begin the second phase of upgrades to discoverE. The improvements will better integrate discoverE, EUCLID, and other holdings to provide a more seamless interface to the richness of Emory’s resources, while replacing our 17-year-old back-end library automation system. The upgrades also will allow future growth in library capabilities and holdings.
 
After the upgrades, you will notice only a few changes in discoverE– primarily, it will search faster, provide access to a broader range of resources, and direct you more efficiently to what you need. There will be no changes to interlibrary loan, ReservesDirect, or your ability to use proxies for item checkout. Your library account and borrowing privileges will remain unchanged. EUCLID will show a more dramatic change as we bring it in line with the enhanced functionality of the new system.
 
Please see this flyer for additional details.
 
As we transition to this new system, there undoubtedly will be questions and concerns about learning to navigate and use new features. Please do not hesitate to contact library staff for assistance or consult the project web page <http://web.library.emory.edu/conduct-research/discovere/search-improvements> .

A new and upgraded version of discoverE will go into production this week. Most of the interface elements and search features should look familiar to users of the previous version.

Benefits of the new interface include:
