New system provides access to collections of 14 academic libraries in Montana through one search

The collection holdings of 14 academic libraries in Montana are now available through a single online search, thanks to an unprecedented statewide partnership. The new system is made possible by a collaborative effort of the libraries of the four campuses of Montana State University and four campuses of the University of Montana, as well as private colleges, tribal colleges and a community college.

The system is designed to improve discovery of library resources, empowering students and faculty to fulfill their information needs from sources across the state, according to Kenning Arlitsch, dean of the library at Montana State University and Shali Zhang, dean of libraries at the University of Montana. It also represents a cooperative effort never before seen among libraries across Montana, they added.
