The large touch screens Information kiosks are now up and running on Levels 2, 3 and 4 in the Robinson Library.

They currently include:

  • The same Library Search look-up functionality as the smaller touch screens – allowing you to quickly find a book’s shelfmark
  • Maps with ‘you are here’
  • Colour coded layers which you can use to show specific features (e.g. just show me study rooms)

Extra functionality will be added over time such as Library news and events, a route to your book from your current location, and study room booking.

Next time you’re in the library, please have a play and tell us what you think!

Goodbye Library catalogue, Hello Library Search

From September 2012 we will be changing the library catalogue in its current form to Library Search.

While it still contains all the information contained in the library catalogue, Library Search allows you to locate books, e-books and journal articles from many of our collections, with a single search.

Library Search is available from anywhere – just click on the link from the library homepage or use the search box directly from the top left hand corner of the website.

A mobile friendly version is also available for you to browse onto your smartphone or tablet device, simply go to http://libsearch.ncl.ac.uk.

Library Search is also available on touchscreen units throughout the Library – helping you to locate books on the shelves.
