UThink and Find It! All Synched Up

This is pretty cool. If you have a UThink blog and are logged into the system, you can surf through university library indexes looking for books and articles, and if the index is Find It! enabled, you can blog citations with one click. I discovered this in class tonight, when my students, I, and Julie (an excellent research librarian) were in a library classroom going over research strategies. Julie was walking us through using MEDLINE, and she pointed out the Find It! feature, which is faster than going to the library catalog, typing in the title of the work, and searching. She clicked on it, and I noticed the list of options (my emphasis):

Check for print/other electronic holdings in MNCAT -- U of M Catalog

Request item from Interlibrary Loan

I of course had to try it out. I'm thinking maybe Dorothea and certainly Liz might be interested in this UThink development.
