Library System Update

We are pleased to inform you that our new library management system is now Live!
The new system has been up and running since yesterday (16 April), and an upgraded NUsearch is also ready to be used.
Some new features with the migration include:

1)Self service machine
    You no longer require a PIN to use the self service machine. You just need to scan your University ID card to log in and borrow books.

2)NUsearch new features

• · Single sign in – once you login to NUsearch with your University IT account, there is no need to sign in again to view eResources.
  • Book requests made easier – now you can place a request by book title and the system will choose the quickest available copy for you. You no longer need to select an individual copy to request.
  • Online room bookings – you can now use NUsearch to make online bookings for all bookable rooms in the Library and Learning@The Core.
  • New interlibrary loans request process – our new form allows you to check NUsearch before making a request, meaning that if we do not have what you want in the library, you will be directed straight to the form.
     
• · New Journals A-Z search – a more user-friendly Journals A-Z search replaces the old Find E-journals search.

Currently, we still have few teething problems post Go-Live which we are working together with our UK counterparts to resolve.

We will continue to communicate further updates on our webpage as well as through Twitter.
