HOLLIS or HOLLIS Classic... which one to choose?

The new HOLLIS offers a simpler, more "forgiving" search (e.g. authors can be searched firstname lastname or lastname firstname), and is good for discovery. It does not provide the same precision as HOLLIS Classic. 

Use HOLLIS for

  • Simple single search box
  • Relevance ranked results
  • Easy options to refine your search by library location, publication date, language, format, and more
  • Spelling corrections and variant spellings  
  • More searchable Tables of Content than are available in HOLLIS Classic

HOLLIS Classic allows you to search or browse by exact author name or subject words, or search "exact phrases." Expanded Search allows you to do more complex searches by combining search words with "AND," "OR," and "NOT."

Use HOLLIS Classic for

  • More powerful advanced searching
  • Emailing lists of records
  • Browsable lists of authors, titles, or subjects
  • Call number searching and browsing
  • Non-Roman character searching (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.).
