Comments on: No MIDCAT in new library site??? http://sites.middlebury.edu/lis/2010/02/09/no-midcat-in-new-library-site/ We Bring Knowledge to You Mon, 29 Apr 2013 18:45:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Rachel Manning http://sites.middlebury.edu/lis/2010/02/09/no-midcat-in-new-library-site/comment-page-1/#comment-14581 Rachel Manning Wed, 10 Feb 2010 17:01:58 +0000 http://sites.middlebury.edu/lis/?p=21791#comment-14581 The Library Quick Search is another way to access Midcat from the Main Library page, but it would be nice to have a clear direct link straight to Midcat from there.

I think it would also be great to see a few more tabs on the Library Quick Search box. There is clearly space for a “My Midcat” tab, and an “ILLiad” Tab as well. While it could be argued that these are not places people are “searching,” with the tracking of “My Reading History” now available in My Midcat, and a fully developed history of past transactions available in ILLiad, these are places people are certainly storing search information.

So you know, it’s also on the “Research” page (http://www.middlebury.edu/academics/lib/research) under “Library Catalogs.”

I can answer my own question – I typed worldcat in MiddSearch and got right to the WorldCat search page. That works…

I assume it’s there somewhere, yes?
Help, please, when you’ve got a chance.
Thanks!
