Library of Congress Launches Comprehensive "New Search"

The Library of Congress has launched a beta version of
its comprehensive search engine, New Search. Now users
can search across a number of LC websites at the same time.
Currently, the new search service covers a number of popular
Library of Congress sections, including the U.S. historical and
cultural collections (American Memory), the Library of Congress
Online Catalog, the Prints & Photographs Online Catalog, and
the main LC website.

The Library of Congress will provide access to the pilot search
engine for several months to gauge response. All previously
existing search services will continue to be available.

For more information, see the New Search FAQ.
