Beta Testing of the New Library Catalog

A screenshot of CrossSearch on the libraries website and a second screenshot showing a magnified view of the "Try the New Library Catalog" link highlighted with an arrow and the "Feedback" link circled.

We are transitioning to a new library catalog and are scheduled to go live on June 23, 2022. The New Catalog will replace the old “Classic Catalog.” CrossSearch will continue to be available and will not be affected by this change.

Between now and then, we invite everyone in the Holy Cross community to beta test the new catalog and let us know what you think. Please go to the libraries website at: https://www.holycross.edu/support-and-resources/holy-cross-libraries. Click on “Try the New Library Catalog” under the CrossSearch search bar. After you are done browsing, please click on “Feedback” located under the CrossSearch bar and complete the brief survey. Thank you!
