 HOLLIS got a new look over spring break! Once you get the hang of it, the new interface is pretty awesome. It incorporates many highly-requested features, such as durable urls, holdings and details all in the same tab, and "sticky" facets. It also adds a slew of precision search options---we'll be posting about those soon!

 Need help? [Ask A Librarian](https://ask.library.harvard.edu/), or [register for a HOLLIS workshop](https://sap.library.harvard.edu/calendar/upcoming).

 Here are a few tips to help you get acquainted with the new and improved HOLLIS:  
1.) Filters are now on the right.

 2.) Select the check box to the left of an option to include it. To exclude something, look for a red checkbox at the right. The results will change after you click the green Apply Filter button at bottom. (See animation below.)

 3.) Click the title and the details will slide into view. Use the left menu to navigate within a record.
