On the Shelf new features include...

A responsive design; more social media tagging; facets to narrow your search, much like what FindIt@ already has; and items on the shelf available for loan. 
You may ask what is the difference between FindIt@ and On the Shelf? FindIt@ includes all Library resources, print and electronic. On the Shelf are items we hold only, and does not include electronic resources like eJournals and eBooks. Ask  one of our friendly Librarians if you need any help.
