The new Summit catalog is now available! The improved catalog combines the holdings of the Summit libraries with libraries worldwide for access to more than 107 million items. Please let us know what you think of the new features.
Work is currently underway on an upgrade to the Summit unified catalog, which allows you to request books and materials from other regional academic libraries in the Orbis Cascade Alliance. The new Summit catalog will be fully installed by the end of 2008. Summit borrowing services will continue without interruption during this transition.
The new and improved Summit catalog will make it easier for you to find the items you’re looking for. With one search, the new Summit catalog will present results from the collections of the Orbis Cascade Alliance member institutions in Oregon and Washington, followed by results from libraries around the world: in all, more than 107 million records for books and other materials.
