Library Catalog Enhancement

Until August 30, the library is trying out Syndetic Solutions.  This product enriches the library catalog with added content such as cover images, book reviews, summaries, first chapters, table of contents, and more!

When you select a title in the catalog, you may see a small book cover image, and another graphic that states --  Get additional information about this book.   Keep in mind that not every book will have a cover image and/or additional information – depending on the age and type of book.

To view the additional features, some example titles to look at are:
Hard Eight by Janet Evanovich
Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
The Great Beyond by Paul Halpern
Daughters of the Union by Nina Silber

Let us know what you think - email library@cnu.edu.
