The Columbia Libraries are developing a new interface for CLIO which allows researchers to combine elements from the library catalog in powerful new ways.
CLIObeta offers the ability to refine a keyword search by format; publication date; topical, regional, historical, and genre headings; language; library location; call number; and acquisition date. It is also possible to search multiple data sources with a single query, including:
- 7.7 million records in the library catalog,
- 400 million records in Summon (Find Articles)
- 6,000 records in Academic Commons
- 4,000 records in the Archival Collections portal
- 1200 database records
- 6,000 recently acquired titles
- 4,000 library web pages
Please take the time to give us your feedback. CLIObeta is being developed locally using open source software. Your comments, questions, and suggestions will help us improve the database. A brief introduction to CLIObeta:
