New Library System Migration Key Dates!

by

In February this year, Hilda C. Landers Library announced that it would be implementing a new integrated library system. The new system is set to go live on May 23, 2024.

There are some aspects of the migration that will minimally affect users and their accounts. Below is a timeline of key dates leading up to the go-live date.

ILS Migration Key Dates and What to Expect

Date

What Will Be Happening
April 1, 2024 Starting Monday, April 1st at , patrons will not be able to see their Interlibrary Loans (ILL) in their My Account within the USMAI catalog.

What does this mean?
If you checked out an item through Interlibrary Loan (ILL), you won’t be able to see it in your library account. Instead, you can view it through your ILLiad account. This does not include items checked out through USMAI.
May 17, 2024 Starting Friday, May 17 at , there will be a circulation freeze in our old system, Aleph.

What does this mean?
Patrons will not be able to place holds or request any items through the catalog. You will however be able to place physical requests through ILLiad. You are still able to check out and return materials to the Hilda C. Landers Library. Please be aware that processing times may be slower. We ask for your patience as we enter information manually.
May 23, 2024 On Thursday, May 23, 2024, the new Integrated Library System goes live!

You’ll be able to use the updated OneSearch interface and see your library loans under the updated search as well.
