New Additions in the UO Libraries

September 2008

New Additions to the University of Oregon Libraries features lists of new publications, mostly books or monographs, recently donated items, particular formats such as maps, compact discs, videos, or DVDs, and some recataloged items. The Library updates "New Additions to the UO Libraries" monthly. Please feel free to bookmark this site and stay informed about recent library holdings.

Items in the New Additions are grouped into broad subject or format areas to facilitate browsing. For detailed information about each list and its organization, select an area of interest in the list to the right.

In January 2002, the Libraries changed the organization of "New Additions to the UO Libraries" to fully utilize the searching and sorting capabilities of the online library catalog. The new organization is arranged largely by subject, according to Library of Congress classifications (i.e. BF for psychology, ND for painting, PR for British literature, QC for physics).The New Additions lists also allow users to go directly to the catalog record for each item. Viewing this record allows users to check the availability and location of library materials.

The UO Libraries is a member of the Orbis Cascade Alliance, a library consortium composed of public and private colleges, community colleges, and universities in the Northwest. One of the chief benefits of this membership is that UO library users may borrow library materials from other libraries within the consortium. To initiate borrowing, UO library users simply use the Summit union catalog just as they once used the Orbis catalog. Like the Orbis catalog, the Summit union catalog is a merged catalog of holdings from member libraries and the Center for Research Libraries. If a desired title within the UO Libraries is checked out, users may easily consult Summit by clicking on the button, "Repeat Search in Summit." For more information about borrowing materials via Summit, consult, "Summit Borrowing."

Library users interested in creating a more individualized profile of new library materials should make use of the search saver feature accessible when you search the catalog while logged into "Your Patron Record." This feature allows you to save the strategies you use to locate materials related to your areas of research, interest, or entertainment. Every week, you will automatically receive email notification of new books, based on your preferred saved strategies.
