New Library Catalog Features

We’ve added several new features to our Library Catalog.

  • Send result to your cell phone
    When you find an item in the catalog you want to retrieve, click the “Send via Text Message” button to send the location, call number, title and author information to your cell phone (your cellular carrier may apply charges; not available for electronic text resources or unbound periodicals)
  • Submit your search to WorldCat.org
    If you don’t find what you’re looking for in our catalog, you can submit your search to Open WorldCat by clicking the WorldCat button at the top of the search results screen. If you find the item you want in WorldCat, you’ll be able to use the FindText link to submit an Interlibrary loan request (FindText limited to CSUN users only).
  • New Audio and Video
    The “New Audio” and “New DVD/Video” lists are now conveniently linked in the right-hand box on all search screens
