The library management system, Voyager ExLibris, will be upgraded next week beginning Monday 28th June. We have been told to expect that it will be unavailable for the whole of that week.
This means that you will be unable to borrow books yourself using the Self-Check facility. Only library staff will be able to issue books to you manually, in the Library Office, during library opening hours only (8.30am-5.00pm Monday to Thursday, 8.30am-4.30pm Friday). There will be times that Jane or I may not be around due to one of us taking annual leave or attending meetings or training, and so we wouldn't be able to cover lunch breaks etc. Please come back if one of us isn't around.
A version of the online catalogue, Newton, will be available to everyone so you can still search for books and journals etc. However, you won't be able to use 'Your Account' on Newton or the Cambridge Libraries Widget to renew your books, and email reminders and overdue notices won't be sent out to you during the upgrade. We will be able to renew books manually for you if you think they are due for return during that week, but if they go overdue don't worry about it.
I will let you know when Self-Check is available again.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
Clair
