Update: Library’s new search platforms (17/09/25)
The Library launched two new search and discovery platforms to replace Stella Search at the beginning of September. They are the “Library Catalogue” for Library holdings; and “Articles and More” for subscribed e-resources and database content. Some technical issues have arisen with the “Library Catalogue” therefore Stella Search has been temporarily reinstated as the primary catalogue for Library holdings. You can find further information in our Library Guide and regular updates on Library home page.
Library launches new search platforms replacing Stella Search (03/09/25)
The Library is launching two new search and discovery platforms to replace Stella Search, which will be switched off after 26 October 2025. The search tabs on the Library home page will direct you to the new platforms from Wednesday, 3 September:
- “Library Catalogue” for Library holdings, such as print books, e-books, journal and e-journal titles, as well as manuscripts and archives;
- “Articles and More” for subscribed e-resources and database content, such as full-text e-journal articles and some e-books.
The new platforms include improved user experiences, for example:
- Cleaner, more intuitive platforms, including modern accessibility features;
- Improved discovery across the breadth of our print collections;
- Fully responsive design to support mobile devices;
- Click and Collect service expanded to open shelf books in the reading rooms.
Stella Search will remain available from the Library website until Sunday, 26 October. Most of the saved content in your Library Account in Stella Search will automatically transfer to your account in the new Library Catalogue when you log in.
You can find further information in a new Library Guide which will contain the latest updates.
Library staff are available to provide assistance with the new platforms “Library Catalogue” and “Articles and More” and can be contacted in the reading rooms, by the chat service via the home page, or by email: library@tcd.ie.
