The �������ϲ����Ͽ� libraries’ project to consolidate the 10 previously independent campus library systems into a single, shared online catalog — �������ϲ����Ͽ� Library Search — received a silver Larry L. Sautter Award for Innovation in Information Technology.

The �������ϲ����Ͽ� system’s recognizes technology innovations that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of university operations. �������ϲ����Ͽ� Library Search, which launched last summer, makes it possible to search all �������ϲ����Ͽ� library collections at once, providing more than 600,000 �������ϲ����Ͽ� students, faculty, staff and clinicians with one-stop access to the �������ϲ����Ͽ�’s entire library collection — collectively, the second largest in the country, after the Library of Congress.

As described in the , �������ϲ����Ͽ� Library Search also benefits library users by allowing them to “see [all] items borrowed, request extensions and manage one’s account from a single sign-on. With hybrid learning and work becoming the ‘new normal,’ �������ϲ����Ͽ� Library Search supports remote students and researchers by allowing them to pick up circulated materials at any �������ϲ����Ͽ� campus or to have a digitized article sent directly to them.”

�������ϲ����Ͽ� Library Search was the culmination of a complex, collaborative four-year endeavor by the 10 campus libraries and �������ϲ����Ͽ�’s central California Digital Library (which manages systemwide journal subscriptions and other shared online resources).
