RE: MESSAGE 3: New Orders and Newly Received Materials
This is the third in a series of email messages about the Library's new online system, which will "go live" in August. We've already entered the transition period. Millions of records are being copied into the new database, and the final touches are being put on the interface design.
At this time, new orders, newly cataloged materials, and newly bound journal volumes are NOT reflected in the current online catalog. To learn about additions to UIUC libraries' holdings since mid-June, visit our special web site.
COMING IN FUTURE MESSAGES:
- Changes in how to charge books online.
- The new look of the online catalog.
- Opportunities for learning to use the new system.
