Triangle Research Libraries Network Launches New Search Function

From the Library Journal:

The Triangle Research Libraries Network (TRLN) pioneered the nation's first consortial online catalog back in the 1980s, and this week, took that legacy a step further with the launch of "Search TRLN", which officials say adds "next-generation search capabilities" to the consortium's combined collection of 16 million volumes. Search TRLN, is a new single-interface discovery tool, enabling users to search across the entire collections of the four member institutions: Duke University, North Carolina Central University, North Carolina State University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It takes advantage of the "faceted searching" and browsing capabilities of Endeca software, and builds on the traditional strengths of TRLN's cooperative collecting and interlibrary delivery services. In a release, TRLN officials described Search TRLN a "one-stop access to the entire body of TRLN's collections."
