New library system has enhanced functionality

 

In November UTAS Library is implementing a new Library Management System.  Implementation of a new LMS has given us the opportunity to review some of the user functions and our borrowing rules.

The new system will make it possible to track your borrowing history, once you opt in.  The new LMS also enables you to recall a book yourself that someone else has out on loan.
The new borrowing rules aim to make more library resources available for longer, with borrowing quotas and durations extended for most borrowers. 

 For example:

• Undergraduates can now borrow 25 low demand items for up to 4 weeks (previously 15 items for 2 weeks), subject to recall.
• Postgraduates can now borrow 50 low demand items for up to 12 weeks (previously 25 items for 4 weeks for coursework postgraduates), subject to recall.

For more details on how the system is changing, ask at your nearest Library, or check the new borrowing rules.
