Systems Manager, Sam Tyler, will be celebrating with a bevy in a branded Library travel mug once the new Library systems server is installed in August
If you are planning to use the Library next week (15-19 August) please be aware that some services will be unavailable whilst we upgrade our Library Management System server. In particular, if you wish to borrow from the Library on Monday 15 August, please issue your books before 4.45pm as the server will be shut down promptly at 5pm.
The Library will still be open but there are a few things you won’t be able to do.
You won’t…
- Be able to see the current location of an item. So you won’t be able to tell if it has been borrowed. However, you will still be able to see the Call Number, so you can always check the shelf anyway as it might be there, and at the same time browse other books on the same topic.
- Be able to access your online Library account to renew your loans or pay fines.
- Get any email reminders of when your books are due. So have a quick check before the 15th in case any of them need returning or renewing.
- Be able to request items from Closed Access or the Off-site Store.
- Be able to register with the Library. This includes SCONUL Access registrations.
You will…
- Still be able to search the Library catalogue, Enterprise.
- Still have access to all our online resources – so any e-books or e-journals you find on the catalogue will still be available via the ‘Click here to access’ links.
- Be able to borrow, return and renew items in the Library.
- Be able to ask any questions at Library Information Desks.
- Be able to pay fines in person in the Library.
