Update on New Library System, August 2011

The new Library system went live successfully on Wednesday 3 August 2011. Thank you all for your patience during the migration period. The following notes give guidance on the current status in relation to each of our key services.

Borrowing and returning books
Full issue and return functionality in now available.

Reserving books
The facility to reserve books on loan to other users using the Library Catalogue has been restored.

Requesting
The request service has been restored. Requests may be placed via the Library Catalogue as before. It is not possible to view requests which were placed before the move to the new system.

Library Catalogue
The new Library Catalogue has been launched and the My Account functionality has been restored. It is not possible to view the history of your book loans before the move to the new system.

Online journals
The e-journals A-Z list (which can be accessed from links on the Catalogue and honni home pages) is the current mechanism for accessing e-resources. In due course, these records will be fully integrated in the Catalogue.

Notices, overdues, reminders, recall notices etc.
The Library has resumed sending out notices. Please note that in future the primary method of sending out library notices will be by email. It is therefore important that the Library has your correct email details.

If you have any questions, please contact one of the Medical and Healthcare Library staff on 028 9063 2500 or med.info@qub.ac.uk.
