Molstead Library catalog down until Friday 3/21...

The catalog software is being upgraded over the next few days.  Therefore, the catalog will be out of service until this is completed, possibly until Friday evening at the latest.

Until then, try using OCLC WorldCat, go to advanced search, and check the box labeled "Items in my library" in order to search for NIC books.  Unfortunately, you will not be able to tell if they are checked out or not so give us a call for assistance, 769-3355.

Library catalog will be searchable, but offline on Thursday, March 3rd.

The administrators at Gonzaga--where the NIC catalog database resides--has informed us that they will be migrating data to new servers this Thursday, March 3rd starting at 7am.  The catalog will be search-able, but items will not be able to be checked-out electronically.  Here is a list of functions the library will not be able to perform while the migration takes place, courtesy of the Gonzaga staff:

• All Circ will be in off-line mode
• Webvoyage will be read only—while patrons will be able to search the catalog, no requests or holds can be placed and patrons cannot access their accounts and circ status won’t be updated. 
• Cataloging and Acquisitions/Serials will be down all day         
• There will be no notices or circ reports for that day 

Apparently, these effects will last all day Thursday and possibly into Friday morning.  We should still be able to check items out to patrons using pen and paper.  We will still need to see your student ID's!

Thank you for your patience ahead of time.
