Our new library discovery interface, Libsearch, provides a simple, one-stop search for books and ebooks, videos, academic articles, digital media and more.  Libsearch can help you discover over 5 billion records and many different resource types from thousands of publishers, aggregators, and repositories. A clearer facet structure allows filtering for more relevant results. It is now easier to renew books and videos and create favourites lists, and you can export citations to Refworks and Endnote Web or use Zotero. You can request materials through our ILL service using an auto-filtered form.  This guide helps you start using it.
