Looking
at eUCLid
During
the summer there has been an upgrade of the Library's Aleph
system, and eUCLid, the web catalogue, has undergone some
changes - in functions as well as in appearance. The most
apparent difference is the replacement of the three-frame
layout of options with just two frames; the navigation choices
are now integrated into the main screen, and this leaves
more room for the display of results from searches.

We
have introduced a separate search option for the ever-awkward
task of finding journal titles, incorporating a link to current
listings of electronic journals. The process of making reservations
for books on loan, or requests for books in store, has been
simplified and should now prove less perplexing.
When
you look at your User Record online, you find two new possibilities.
There is now an option to renew all your books on loan together;
and you can see a history of the books you have previously
borrowed - useful if you forgot to note down a vital bibliographic
reference at the time you were reading it.
