Library Catalog Transition and Timeline
The
UW System libraries will be moving to a new shared library management system.
As a result, our current library catalog is officially going away on February
16, 2015 (the system that runs our catalog is no longer being developed by the
vendor).
Our discovery tool, Search@UW, will continue as the interface for
searching our library holdings and also functions as the UW System Libraries
shared catalog.
Below
are some important dates we would like you to be aware of that may impact
services. We will also send
reminders closer to these dates as well:
- January 8 – Universal Borrowing and other resource sharing will be handled via the Interlibrary loan system until the new system is live on February 16th. It may take a bit more time to get materials from other libraries during this period.
- January 15 – Deadline for Spring Semester Reserve requests – for physical items only (books, DVDs, etc.).
- January 20 - New items will not be ordered, purchased, cataloged, placed on reserve until the new system is in place.
- February 4 – Checkout/Checkin of materials will be manual. “My Account” data will not be updated, and renewals and requests will not be available until the new system is in place.
We appreciate your patience while we make this system transition. Please know the library staff is always willing to help with the services you need.
