<div>The SNU Library's new Innovative Encore Millennium Integrated Library
System with federated searching will go live at <a href="../../../../library">www.snu.edu/library</a> on October 13.&nbsp;&nbsp; It's
simple discovery searching that begins with a Google-type box into which you
type&nbsp;an author, title, keyword, or subject&nbsp;to retrieve books, ebooks, dvds,
videos, and other materials including that search term (with photos of the book
jackets, table of contents, summary, and other information to provide additional
information).&nbsp; The search term is also linked to articles in Ebscohost, JStor,
Gale, Wilson, and FirstSearch databases.&nbsp; Just enter the name and barcode number
on your new SNU ID card and you can continue the same search through the
library's online databases.&nbsp; One search term does it all!&nbsp;&nbsp;Users can monitor
their accounts, renew materials, pay fines online, and rate the items they have
especially liked from home or in the library.&nbsp; Community users may&nbsp;obtain an
annual card for $10.&nbsp; For more information, go to <a href="../../../../library">www.snu.edu/library</a> or call 405-491-6351.&nbsp;
The library is open Monday-Thursday 7:45 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., Friday from 7:45
a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Sunday from 7:30
