I-Card / Courtesy Card needed for checkout

The Online Catalog is now frozen for the upgrade.

Checkout and renewal is still possible at any library circulation desk; however, we cannot access your patron record to look up your borrower ID. Please bring your I-Card or Courtesy Card to check items out.

The request function in the catalog is disabled, and your account information is accurate as of 5pm June 14, but will not reflect items returned or borrowed after that time until the system upgrade is complete.

Many thanks for your patience!

2 more days to renew, request online

If you have items you want to request from other UIUC libraries, or if you need to renew anything, please do so before Wed., June 14, at 5pm. The UIUC Online Catalog will be "frozen" at that time.

Once the catalog is frozen, online renewing and requesting services will be interrupted for approximately 2 weeks for a system upgrade.

3 more days to renew, request online

The UIUC Online Catalog will be "frozen" starting Wednesday, June 14, at 5 pm.

If you have items you want to request from other UIUC libraries, or if you need to renew anything, now would be a good time to act. Once the catalog is frozen, these services will be interrupted for approximately 2 weeks for the system upgrade.
