Changes In Library Automation System

Throughout the break, the library will be performing an upgrade to the Library automation system. Users should not notice any interruption in service; however, some patron empowerment features will be temporarily unavailable. Also, while this upgrade is being performed the libraries will be unable to order or process new materials. The changes to the online catalog will be minimal.
