Library Catalog
Redesign
The CMU Libraries recently redesigned the search
interface for CENTRA, the library's catalog of books, journal,
and electronic resource holdings. The redesign was undertaken
and completed by a committee of librarians (including Off-Campus
Librarian Thad Dickinson) with the intention of making the
catalog easier to navigate and better able to provide access to
the library's growing collection of electronic books and
journals. Check out the new interface at
http://catalog.lib.cmich.edu. If you have questions
about using CENTRA to locate library resources please contact
Off-Campus Library Services at 1-800-274-3838 or submit a
request online at
www.ocls.cmich.edu/reference/index.html.
