*MIT Library Digital Search and Retrieval System*

The MIT Library System has introduced a beta site with a much-improved
digital search and retrieval system, especially useful for literature
searches. The installation instructions can be found in the lower right
corner of the main library webpage. For those of us on the subcommittee
representing the GSC-ARC on the Library System who have been users of
this beta system, we highly recommend that you use this Firefox flexible
browser for your research.

And follow the link "Library Betas" in the lower right hand corner.
