About Library Search

The NEW Emory Libraries Search Tool is the primary tool for searching Emory Libraries catalog including books, e-books, videos, journals, articles, and some digital media.


Technology

The NEW Emory Libraries Search Tool is developed in Blacklight, which is an open-source Ruby on Rails "engine" that provides a basic discovery interface for searching an Apache Solr index. The product development is part of a multi-phase project that started in 2019.

Accessibility

Emory Libraries is committed to the principles of universal design and strives to provide equitable services online and in our spaces. We assess and enhance the usability and accessibility of our digital interfaces on an ongoing basis, and use Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and current WCAG AA standards as benchmarks. For further information, please use our feedback form or consult Emory’s Department of Accessibility Services.
