MNLINK Limiters Liberate (Inter)Library Loans

Interlibrary loaners rejoice! MNLINK (your one-stop shop for all things interlibrary in Minnesota) has recently upgraded its software so that you can search for items by item type, language and intended audience level. What does that mean to you, the interlibrary loaner? It means, my friend, that when you look for the Sound of Music on VHS, you can limit your search so you won't be wading through the Sound of Music on DVD, the Sound of Music score, books about the Sound of Music, magazines devoted to the Sound of Music and so on. Ditto for foreign language materials and materials targeted to a certain age level. Click on this beautiful link to give it a try https://www.mnlinkgateway.org/zportal/zengine?VDXaction=ZSearchAdvanced.
