Now, it also returns additional article results even if we don&#8217;t subscribe to the journal, giving you access to millions of sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How It Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If we don&#8217;t subscribe to the journal, the search result will display &#8220;Check for request options.&#8221; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once you&#8217;ve clicked on the article title, you will see options to request a PDF.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You no longer need to toggle &#8220;Add results beyond CBB&#8221; to see these additional results; they are now included by default.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Books and Videos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This change does not apply to books and videos. If you need a book or video that&#8217;s not in the CBB network, you can search for it by changing Everything to Beyond CBB. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"178\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/library\/files\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-05-091440-900x178.webp\" alt=\"Beyond CBB search scope in LibrarySearch\" class=\"wp-image-10724\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/library\/files\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-05-091440-900x178.webp 900w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/library\/files\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-05-091440-400x79.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/library\/files\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-05-091440-768x152.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/library\/files\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-05-091440.webp 982w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will have options to request through MaineCat or Interlibrary Loan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve updated LibrarySearch to make it easier to find even more academic journal articles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":511,"featured_media":10681,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_hide_ai_chatbot":false,"_ai_chatbot_style":"","associated_faculty":[],"_Page_Specific_Css":"","_bates_restrict_mod":false,"bates_author_byline_override":"","_table_of_contents_display":false,"_table_of_contents_location":"","_table_of_contents_disableSticky":false,"_is_featured":false,"_sidebarChoice":"","footnotes":"","_bates_seo_meta_description":"","_bates_seo_block_robots":false,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_id":0,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_twitter_id":0,"_bates_seo_share_title":"","_bates_seo_canonical_overwrite":"","_bates_seo_twitter_template":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10723","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10723","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/511"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10723"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10723\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10726,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10723\/revisions\/10726"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10681"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
