Update - library system downtime

The transition to the new system has taken longer than expected, due to an unexpected crash in the previous system just days before the migration of data was due to take place! This means that access to the new system is due to be fully functional from 9am Friday 22nd July, and not Monday 18th, as hoped.

SOLO, which remains currently available for searching, will also be unavailable from 3pm on Thursday 21st until 9am Friday 22nd July.

If you need help finding any library materials, please do ask any of us in the library and we will do our best to help!
