Over the last few months the libraries team have been busy making a host of changes and improvements to NUsearch – the library’s online resource discovery tool.
The new look NUsearch has a simpler, cleaner design and is easier to use than ever. Here's a snapshot of what students and academics have been telling us:
“I absolutely LOVE the new NUsearch library interface! It looks great and is easy to use. Excellent job.” Yvonne Paul, Postgraduate student.
“The new look NUsearch is quick, clear and user-friendly. I'm a total technophobe… but I was impressed at how easy NUsearch is to use.” Dr David Appleby, Lecturer, History.
Perhaps the best news is that NUsearch is now mobile friendly, which means you can use it anywhere – whether you’re browsing the book stacks in one of our seven UK libraries or off campus, planning your library visit.
We’ve also made loads of improvements to the advanced search (including more material types added), made the menu clearer to help you find and request resources, and improved the ‘My Library Card’ area from where you can manage your library account.
NUsearch doesn’t just let you search the library’s physical and digital collections – although it does that too – it is also the place to go if you want to request more books or more copies, make loan requests (including Inter Library Loans from other institutions), browse e-journals, find databases and explore our special collections and archives. NUsearch also links to course reading lists in Moodle and Nottingham ePrints where you can find research produced by UoN authors.
In short, it’s a one-stop-shop and your first port of call for discovering and accessing books, e-books, journals and much more. NUsearch is available at nusearch.nottingham.ac.uk.
