Melvyl Catalog Undergoing Major Upgrade
The California Digital
Library (CDL) has a powerful, new online Melvyl-T catalog, allowing
library patrons—faculty, students, staff, and other researchers
as well as the public—to search a state-of-the-art database
of the millions of books, journals, and other items held by libraries
on University of California campuses.
Compared to the legacy Melvyl catalog—which ceases to operate
next month—Melvyl-T has a new format and design, offers users
a variety of enhanced search features, and contains completely updated
data for the UC system. Once the legacy Melvyl catalog has been retired,
Melvyl-T (for Transition) will become Melvyl.
Melvyl-T's catalog of 23 million items is at <http://melvyl.cdlib.org>
and also is available via the CDL Web site <http://www.cdlib.org>,
which contains information about the catalog and other digital collections
and services. The catalog is based on the union catalog module of the
ALEPH500 library automation system developed by Ex Libris, a leading
developer of library systems worldwide.
