OhioLINK Catalog Access

The OhioLINK catalog will be unavailable beginning at noon today for server migration.  The AU library catalog remains in use, but users will not be able to request OhioLINK books or use the OhioLINK catalog until server migration is complete.  If you have questions, please call the circulation desk at x5400.

From the OhioLINK Facebook page:
Just a reminder: the OhioLINK Central Catalog will be down for several hours starting at noon TOMORROW (7/7) for server migration. If you've got book requests on your to-do list, this might be the best time to do it!

Additional information is detailed on the OhioLINK web site:

The OhioLINK Central Catalog will be unavailable while planned maintenance is performed beginning at noon on Thursday, July 7. We expect the migration to a new server will be completed by the evening of the 7th. During this time you will not be able to search the central catalog or request items. Local library catalogs will remain available for searching.

Juvenile big books are now easier than ever to locate in the stacks! Each title has a new call number beginning with BigBk and followed by a number; they are numerical on the hanging bar and each section labeled (BigBk 001 - BigBk 020) corresponding to the titles displayed.

The juvenile big book collection currently includes 137 titles, view the full collection using other call number and entering BigBk or search by title in the library catalog.
