Catalog Upgrade March 14-16, 2015

Beginning early Saturday morning and extending through end of day on Monday, Library systems will be upgraded, impacting catalog searches, request processes, and check out and renewal of library materials.

The following services will remain available for most of the upgrade; however, there may be periods when these services are not available – watch for further announcements:

• Library website (www.library.kumc.edu)
• Search the catalog …to search for library materials
• E-Journals
• Databases
• Request Materials (ILLiad) … to get Articles, Books, More

Patrons will still be able to use the VuFind Search box on the library home page to search both electronic and print holdings.  However, print titles searched and accessed in VuFind will not show availability, location or call number.  Electronic journal content can still be searched and accessed via the E-Journal Finder and Citation Linker (http://mt8fd2he2v.search.serialssolutions.com/).

We apologize for any inconvenience
