June 15-19 Catalogue System Updates: Avoid using sign-in button or logging in to access “My Account” in WorldCat Discovery

Published: 27 May 2020

McGill Library will be performing a system update in WorldCat Discovery from Monday, June 15 to Friday, June 19. All Library users are asked to avoid using the “Sign In” button or logging in to "My Account" from WorldCat Discovery during this period. Please note that this includes logins for the purpose of saving searches. All items currently checked out have been automatically renewed to September 15 therefore verification of online accounts or item renewal is unnecessary at this time.

Beginning June 19, a new thirty day loan policy will go into effect for most items. The thirty day loan policy, implemented to reflect a new, province-wide consortial agreement with 17 other Quebec universities, includes unlimited automatic renewals unless an item has been requested by another patron.

With the implementation of this new, simpler policy, users will be able to keep library materials for a longer period of time and easily place a hold on high-demand items.
