New Library Catalog!

Hewes Library, along with all CARLI (Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois) institutions, transitioned to a new library catalog interface July 2020.

The catalog is accessible from the library's homepage "Search" box.

The catalog WILL permit borrowing from other I-Share institutions, however, that feature is still being tested for our location. Patrons who wish to borrow materials from other libraries should use the WorldShare interlibrary loan form on the library's homepage. (more about WorldShare)

The new interface has several "scopes" that search distinct and overlapping resources. Scopes include:  

Hewes Library Catalog	Searches all physical books, dvds and media available in Hewes Library, and some digital resources (government documents, Monmouth-owned Ebooks).  Learn more
Everything	Searches Hewes Library-owned physical items, I-Share Libraries catalogs, some Ebook collections, AND popular and scholarly journal articles (some citation-only, some full-text) from select databases.
I-Share Libraries Catalog	Searches materials owned in I-Share consortium libraries (Illinois academic libraries). Book materials are requestable via I-Share. Ebooks are not available to borrow due to publisher restrictions.  Learn more
Articles	Searches millions of popular and scholarly journal articles (some citation-only, some full-text) accessible through Hewes Library databases.
Course Reserves	Searches a subset of materials on reserve for a Monmouth College course.

More information on the new catalog interface can be found at https://library.monmouthcollege.edu/catalogs.  Additional tutorials coming soon!
