On May 19, we're launching updates to our library search and introducing Rapido, a new interlibrary loan tool. Some things on our website will look different, but your experience will be better. 

Last fall, we began working on making important updates for our library system. Our goal was to enhance the online library search and interlibrary loan request processes, improve the website’s user experience for students, faculty, and staff, and make our internal workflows more efficient.

Key updates and changes

Rapido

You’ll find it easier to submit requests for materials through our interlibrary loan (ILL) service with Rapido. ILL allows you to request and borrow physical and electronic materials from other libraries. Learn more about Rapido.

Library search

Learn how to use our library search, the fastest, easiest way to find and request library materials. 

The new AI tool, Search Assistant AI 

This new AI tool helps you find what you’re looking for in library search. You can:

• Use natural language prompts rather than keywords.
• Search in multiple languages.
• Use this tool for exploratory searches but not for comprehensive searching.

Learn more about the Search Assistant.
