Encore is a new wayto find materials in Rhode Island libraries.
This new way of searching combines some features of the traditional (classic) library catalog with qualities of today's popular search engines.
New and Improved Features
A simple keyword search starting point.
Automatic spelling correction. ( Did you mean...?)
Subject Tag Clouds Subject Tag Clouds (which appear on the right side of your screen), allow you to narrow your search by clicking on the most frequently occurring subject terms for your results. Those terms are collected in a "cloud" of different-sized words. The bigger the word, the more items in your results that have that subject heading.
Faceted Browsing Facets (which appear on the left side of your screen), allow you to limit your search by location, format (book, DVD), date published and more. You can back out of any limit you set without having to begin your search again.
Links to related magazine and newspaper articles. (Click on the word "Articles" in the upper left corner.)
Five-star rating system so you can rate materials.
Works well on your cell phone and other mobile devices.
