Our Library Search page will be unavailable on Saturday 21 December 2024 due to essential maintenance by OCLC, our service provider.

The maintenance is scheduled to start at 5:00am and complete at 6:00pm. The unavailability will be for approximately six hours during this maintenance window. Whilst Library Search is down, you will not be able to search or access your library account.

OCLC have scheduled the system maintenance across all library search pages using their product (WorldCat Discovery). A live service status for WorldCat Discovery is available on the OCLC Website.

Our other online services, including BrowZine, will be available. BrowZine is a platform which allows you to read journal articles and opt in for current awareness alerts.
