We have moved to an updated catalogue format – Discovery – so things will look a little different next time you do a catalogue search or place a hold on an item from our New Books display.
There will be some ongoing tweaking happening over the next week or so, while we continue to improve the user experience with Discovery – and we are currently reviewing and updating all of our guidelines relating to catalogue use.
We appreciate you patience while we make this transition.
Please visit the catalogue and explore the new format. We think our patrons will be especially pleased with the visibility of the log-in button, and the need for fewer clicks to place a Hold.
Don’t forget, you are always welcome to ask our friendly staff if you need some assistance to get started.
