Searching for New Additions

You can search for information that has recently been added to your library’s catalog. (For example, if you want to find out whether a new book that you have ordered has been cataloged and added to your library’s collection, you can search a list of new titles.)

You can search for these types of new information:

Titles
Authors
Subjects
Series

Your library’s system administrator and cataloging staff can determine how long information is considered new. For titles, the administrator can set a certain number of days after which the new titles are cleared from the list of new additions. (For more information, see “System-Wide Settings” in the “General Setup” chapter of the System Administration Guide.) For authors, subjects, and series, cataloging staff must manually clear new additions. (For more information, see “Clearing the New Authority Table” in the “Authority Records” chapter of the Cataloging Guide.)
