New Microform Scanner August 1, 2008
Posted by Andy Keck in : Uncategorized , add a commentThe Divinity School Library has added a new microform scanner to help support the use of our growing collection of materials preserved on microform including: rare and deteriorating books, missionary correspondence, documentary history, archives, and international documents. The new microform scanner allows you to digitally scan the microform or microfiche for printing (through ePrint) or saving in a digital format. The scanner is located on the main level behind the current periodical shelves - feel free to ask library staff for assistance.
New catalog search tool July 10, 2008
Posted by Andy Keck in : Divinity Library in the news, Library resources , add a commentLast month we promoted a new interface created for SearchTRLN which searched the library catalogs of Duke, NCSU, UNC-CH, and NCCU. This week, the Duke Libraries began offering an extension of that interface which has been customized for the Duke Libraries. The new search interface, now known as the Basic Catalog, provides advanced tools for keyword searching that both searches and displays enhanced tables of contents, summaries, and book cover images. The Classic Catalog remains the interface of choice for browsing by title, author, or subject or to quickly request books from another Duke library.
