Leddy Library News

Today, a significant number of databases that the Leddy Library subscribes to, now have a new interface.

This new platform is called Illumina and allows “Googlish” Quick Searches [tutorial] while maintaining traditional search capabilities through Advanced Search [tutorial]. This link provides a five-page quick reference card for both search screens [pdf].

At the end of January, Illumina will be the new search interface for @ Scholars Portal.
