Dear Music Library Patrons,
We are excited to announce that UH Libraries will move to a new search platform and catalog interface at the end of July. Overall, this will change how the main search on the library website functions and how you search for materials such as books, scores, and articles through the library. You can find out more information now, and get more specific details over the next couple of weeks, from our user guide.
How will this change impact you?
- If you link to specific books/resources in Blackboard or your course syllabus, you will need to update those links post-July 23rd (old links will work until Aug 30th to give you some time to transition, but they will stop working at that point)
- Your library account for book checkouts will change interfaces
- You will probably want to test out the new search to see if there any changes that you or your students need to know
What isn’t changing? These things will remain the same:
- Our ILL system, through which you can request articles, books, and other materials which UH doesn’t have access to
- Searching for articles or data through specific databases such as JSTOR, Science Direct, or EEBO
Who can you contact if things aren’t working after July 23rd?
- You can always ask for help in the music library, but if you’d like to reach out directly then the person to contact is Lee Hilyer (lahilyer@uh.edu).
If you have questions, please feel free to pay us a visit. The music library staff is happy to chat further with you to understand any questions or concerns that you might have.
