Ebsco, the publishers of most of the Unitec Library databases, have adopted a new interface. They have provided a flash demonstration of the new features.
There is currently a problem with how search results display in the new interface on Internet Explorer when the monitor is set at a resolution of 800x600. The results are there but you have to scroll down to see them.

New setup for Main Library computers
The six computers in a circle in front of the Issues desk at the Main Library were formerly able to be used without logging on, and were intended mainly for catalogue searching.
They have now been modified so that they have the same setup as the other Library PCs. This means that you have to log on to use them with your Unitec username and password. You can use them to access your personal files, and can print from them.
If you just want to do a quick catalogue search without logging on, there are two new PCs set up for this purpose. They are between the book stacks and the wall, on your right as you come in to the Library and face away from the Issues desk.
Four more PCs are to be installed, so that eventually there will be six PCs for catalogue searching; three on the ground floor and three on the first floor.
