New catalogue featuring Omni search tool now live @ McMaster libraries
After years of planning and preparation, a new library services platform is now live at McMaster University Libraries.
The new library catalogue is expected to better meet the needs of McMaster’s academic community thanks, in part, to a search tool called Omni which is now in use at 18 university libraries across Ontario.
Highlights of Omni include the ability to:
- Find books, articles, chapters, documents, videos, and more
- Narrow a search using filters or browse a virtual shelf
- Pin and label materials in your favourites file for easy retrieval
- Cite, email, and export to a citation tool to manage your information
- Discover and access collections at McMaster, 17 Ontario partner institutions and beyond
- Place requests directly in Omni for physical resources held at partner institutions
McMaster joins a number of participating university libraries using Omni including:
- Algoma University
- Brock University
- Carleton University
- University of Guelph
- Lakehead University
- Laurentian University
- Nipissing University
- OCAD University
- University of Ontario Institute of Technology
- University of Ottawa
- Queen’s University
- Trent University
- University of Waterloo
- Western University
- Wilfrid Laurier University
- University of Windsor
- York University
For more information, consult the Omni Help guide.
Note: Any lists, preferred searches or reading history generated in our former search tools can be saved until December 31, 2022.
