Our new discovery services platform Encore is now (mostly) fully functional and is now our preferred and primary tool for access to our library collections. Encore is the default search tool available on our new academic research portal http://lis.luther.edu/research. Our new federated search product Research Pro is also now partially integrated with Encore. Once fully deployed this will allow additional searching within a number of external databases include Google, Google Books, JSTOR, Project Muse, and Academic Search Complete. We welcome feedback on Encore, and will make a formal announcement of the product the week of July 14th.

Thanks to John and Ryan in particular who have helped to coordinate things with Innovative prior to launch. For more information about Encore and its capabilities, please visit http://lis.luther.edu/services/encore
