Erin Shield, Collection Services Manager, recently commented on the implementation.

NOLS is excited that a broader spectrum of library resources are readily available for patrons in the new catalog. The grouped search results allow people to find the title and format they’re looking for efficiently. The streamlined account view with the list of checkouts and holds - both physical and digital - creates a complete picture of options. And, staff are really excited to more easily share recommended titles with customers.”
