NYU Libraries Catalog Features

An overview of features in NYU Libraries' online catalog (search.library.nyu.edu).

Filtering Options

The majority of filtering options are the same in the new catalog with the following small changes:

  • Filter category “Show Only” allows users to filter very broadly only the location and type of resource. The options include:

    • Physical items held by the library (e.g., physical books, DVDs, scores, etc.)

    • Online only items (e.g., e-books, articles)

    • Peer reviewed journals and articles within such journals

    • Open access resources

  • Filter category “Resource Type” now includes new options such as articles, conference proceedings, book chapters, to reflect the variety of new electronic resources now available in the catalog. 

  • New filter category “Library Collection” which allows users to narrow their search by collections within libraries (e.g., Bobst Main Collection or AFC Video Collection). 

  • New filter categories “Journal Title” & “E-Resource Collection”
