On December 16, the library systems that supply information to discoverE<\/a> will change. [UPDATE: The migration was a success! Some\u00a0system integration work continues. Thanks to all. ] <\/span><\/strong>We are replacing the software that library staff use to order, pay for, catalog, and circulate library materials.<\/p>\n

Library users will continue to use discoverE <\/a>to search for library materials and to place requests (e.g. hold, reserves, renewals, etc.), but searching for ejournals will change.<\/p>\n

Library users will be able to search a new interface for ejournals A-Z directly within discoverE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PARDON OUR DUST; TRANSITION PERIOD<\/p>\n

In order to accomplish this change, there will be some interruption of service over the Winter Holiday Break.\u00a0 Starting on December 11th at 6pm, and continuing through December 17th, requesting, holds, recalls, e-shelf, and other \u2018my account\u2019 features in discoverE will be unavailable due to system migration. [Dec 15th UPDATE<\/strong> The eShelf data has been migrated for approximately 90% of our discoverE collections, and we’re working to restore the remainder of our local Emory collections.] <\/span>If you have any questions, please contact your <\/span>library<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0 For more details about effected library services, please see below.\u00a0 <\/span>Thank you for your patience.<\/span><\/p>\n

EJOURNALS<\/p>\n

One noticeable change will be the look and feel of ejournals access.\u00a0 Starting on Dec 21st, ejournals@emory<\/a> will redirect to a new ejournals A-Z list, found also as a TAB of the library’s discoverE<\/a> tool.\u00a0 (See screenshots below).\u00a0 <\/em>Integrating ejournal searching with all other library searching should benefit Emory students and researchers. Library users\u00a0 will also see a new screen when using the FindIt@Emory button,\u00a0\"Screen<\/a> Functionality should remain similar to past ejournals searching.\u00a0 Please continue to send ejournal issues to ASKEJOURNALS [at] LISTSERV [dot] CC [dot] EMORY [dot] EDU<\/a>.<\/p>\n
