Using the Pioneer Trail Discovery Service: Understanding the Catalog

A how-to-guide for using the new search box and to introduce the Pioneer Trail EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS).

Understanding the Catalog

Just like in the OPAL catalog, the icons in the left column will indicate what type of an item it is (book, ebook, video recording, etc.) The results list will also show where in the library it's located, or have a link if the item is a full-text journal article or ebook. Hover over the icons to the right of the title to get a quick overview of the item's content, without having to open the entire reoord, or to place an item in a folder to view later. 

If you want to check availability in the OhioLINK catalog, click the link at the top of the page, or from within the library catalog.
