Surveyor library catalog
If you’ve visited the library website recently, you may have noticed that Surveyor, formerly our beta catalog, has gone live. It is now the default catalog if you select the Library Catalog link. (The old catalog is labeled Classic Catalog and can still be accessed under Search on the website.)
Surveyor defaults to a basic search, with a single search box. For more control, or to combine multiple search terms, click on the Advanced option.
Please contact the library if you need assistance locating materials via the new catalog.
