New Homepage Search Box

We’ve launched a new homepage search box that we think will make navigating our collections easier and more intuitive. For the most part, the difference is in presentation only, but there are a few changes to your search options.
QUICK SEARCH
First, we’ve introduced a “Quick” article search option. This box searches a wide range of our Ebscohost databases (hover over the “?” by the box to see the full list) and will satisfy those who need results fast.
BOOKS & MORE
Our “Books & More” catalog search is now set to search only UNC Asheville holdings. This change has been made in response to the changing nature of our collections. As we and our WNCLN (Western Carolina Library Network) partners acquire more digital collections, it becomes less practical to have a shared catalog search. Digital content, unlike physical books, cannot usually be shared between schools. Vast digital collections held by only one or two of our three schools make finding available materials increasingly difficult.
ABC Express borrowing from ASU & WCU is still available to students, faculty and staff. Just choose “WNCLN” below the search box.
Our old homepage layout will be available temporarily, but please try our new layout, and send any comments to library@unca.edu.
