Starting this week, users will be able to access the Harvard University Library’s more than 9 million records via the new and improved Harvard Online Library Information System (HOLLIS).
“It’s a major update and improvement of the old HOLLIS system that was around for almost 20 years,”said Pforzheimer University Professor Sidney Verba, who directs the University Library.
The new system is based on web technology, which is more compatible with other systems and allows for expanded HOLLIS features, Verba said. A main feature of the new system is a point-and-click based user interface that replaces the old system’s typed commands.
In the new HOLLIS, users will be able to limit searches to a certain type of materials, such as journals or books. Librarians said these changes make searching the system much easier.
