The difference between the Classic Catalog and Vufind Library Catalog Interface:

You can now search both the U of I Library Catalog and the I-Share Catalog (Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois, 145 participating members) via a single interface called VuFind. The VuFind/ I-Share Catalog has replaced the older Classic I-Share integrated catalog.  You can still search the local U of I Catalog through either the VuFind interface or the Classic interface.   Here are some of the features you'll find in VuFind:

• A single simple search box
• Refine search by subject, title, topic, language, format, and more
• Search the U of I library catalog or all I-Share libraries at once, including item status and location information
• Request UIUC and I-Share items
• Create your own username and password
• Connect to your "My Account" page
• Zotero-compliant for saving and tagging records
• Social networking tools, such as leaving comments and tagging
• Previews in Google Book Search
• Inlcudes HathiTrust titles

Features currently unavailable in vufind:

• Call number searching
• Ability to limit items by library
• Library of Congress Subject Headings searches

Since the consolidation of Slavic, Asian, Africana, Latin American and Caribbean departmental libraries into the International and Area Studies Library, the Slavic Reference, Acquisitions, and Cataloging staff continue to work, collaborate, and communicate with each other to create an ideal research space for SRL participants.  All of the services associated with the Summer Research Laboratory for the last forty years are still in place.  Throughout your stay, the Slavic Reference Staff are ready to assist you with research inquiries, verifying citations,  locating materials and holding institutions, using research technologies, library access and policies, and with bibliographic sources.
