Hilda C. Landers Library & Archives

In February of this year, Hilda C. Landers Library announced that it would be transitioning into a new and improved library system this summer.

System Go-Live: May 23, 2024

The time has finally come! On May 23, 2024, the Library website will be updated with links pointing to the new system. While you may still be able to access the old catalog system, you will not be able to place requests or renew items.

During May 17 at 5:00 p.m. through May 23 at 12:00 p.m.

You Will Not Be Able To:

• Place any holds or requests
• Renew any items

You Will Still Be Able To:

• Check out and return books
• Place requests through Interlibrary Loan
• Search and browse the old catalog
• Access databases and online journals

After May 23, 2024

The new and improved OneSearch and its features will be available to use!

Questions?

If you have any questions please Email the Library (ask@smcm.libanswers.com). For updates and more information about the migration, read more on the Library’s blog.

Do You Have Saved Searches or Saved Items in the Library Catalog?

If you have created lists of saved items and/or saved searches under your library account, they will NOT be transferred over to our new library system. Before May 23, 2024, you will need to download and/or send them to your own email account.

Regarding Saved Items Within My EBSCOhost Account

Saved searches, alerts, or citations within a My EBSCOhost account will no longer be available in the updated OneSearch, but will still be available in individual EBSCO databases, such as Academic Search Ultimate.

Changes to Non-USMAI Loan Visibility (April 1, 2024)

Starting April 1, 2024, incoming loans of physical books (and any other physical material) from non-USMAI libraries will no longer be listed in the patron My Account feature of the current USMAI Catalog system.

Where to View Non-USMAI Loans in the Meantime

Patrons will still be able to see all of their non-USMAI loans on their Interlibrary Loan (ILLiad) account.

After June 1, 2024

After June 1, 2024, incoming loans of physical books (and any other physical material) from non-USMAI libraries will be included in the My Account feature of the new library system.
