We are launching a new library services platform to manage all the information about our collection.
We are also upgrading our online catalogue that you use to search and access the Library’s collections.
Our current library system has been in place for over 20 years. The new platform and catalogue will enhance the digital capability of the Library.
The new catalogue will be very similar to our current catalogue but will improve digital capability and access to collections over time.
The new catalogue will have some helpful new features:
• Improved accessibility
• Filtering and sort functionality for periodical items (such as newspapers)
• The ability to search within journals
For the most part, the new catalogue will look the same and function in the same way as the current catalogue, but there are some changes.
Password access
All members will need to sign in with their member number and a password to access full catalogue features and electronic resources from home.
