This is fantastic! The fact that it pulls real occupied shelves from the catalog is amazing. It makes finding books so much more exciting and reliable. I love that it shows which floor to go to immediately.

I really like how this tool pulls from the actual BobCat catalog. It feels super authentic since it uses live data. The variety of shelves available is impressive, covering different floors and call-number sections. It’s a cool way to find random books without having to search for a specific title. I appreciate that it’s tied directly to NYU’s system. The interface seems straightforward enough for anyone to use. It’s a nice little feature for the library. I hope they add more libraries soon.
