Catalog Maintenance

Update: The catalog maintenance was completed at 8:30am on Saturday 10/5/2019.



The Library Catalog will be undergoing maintenance beginning Friday October 4th through Sunday October 6th. During this time, electronic books and journals may not show up in the journal and book search results.

Access to our eBooks will be available for the duration by going directly to either AccessMedicine or ClinicalKey depending on where the book is published. This maintenance will not affect the E-journal Finder, Database List, Request Materials (ILLiad), or our Find It! button.

Once the work is complete, all of our electronic resources will appear in the catalog again.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Library catalog unable to display holdings and availability

Update: Holdings and availability data has been restored. The problem appears to have been a network disruption or temporary outage at KU.

KUMC Libraries' catalog is currently unable to display item holdings and checkout availability data. The catalog is still searchable, but any real-time data is unavailable. We're troubleshooting the problem now and hope to have it restored soon. We apologize for the inconvenience.
