Alma Update: Library Express

The UT Libraries completed the majority of the migration to Alma, our new fulfillment and management client, during the winter break. We believe this migration will result in a better functionality for our patrons and a streamlined Web site.

However, there are a few on-going issues associated with this process the UTIA and UTCVM community need to be aware of in the short term.

  • Library Express is not making departmental deliveries at this time.  They are diligently working to resolve this issue, but there is not an estimate when the service will resume. Patrons can requests holds for pick-ups at Pendergrass and/or PDF scans as an alternative.
  • Patrons must use the ‘Sign-in for More Options’ function in the OneSearch/Primo interface to request physical items or scans. Use the ‘Get It’ hyperlink for item pick-up and scan requests. Use the ‘View It’ option to access e-books, e-journals, and direct database links.

We apologize for any inconvenience these temporary disruptions cause our patrons and are working with our colleagues to restore these services.  Please contact Pendergrass Library with any questions or problems.
