The Hilda C. Landers Library, along with the 17 libraries across the University System of Maryland and Affiliated Institutions (USMAI) consortium, will be implementing a new integrated library system. The new system will go live on May 23, 2024. Throughout the spring, our migration team is working to replace the current system, which has been in place for over 20 years.
An integrated library system manages the basic functions of a library, such as providing the infrastructure that allows library users to search for and access library materials, checking library materials in and out, and keeping track of orders and subscriptions. This system migration is a huge step forward, and will help modernize the Library’s current functionality and usability.
The updated OneSearch, which will replace the current catalog, will streamline search functions and your access to local resources and scholarly research. You will notice more features that will allow you to more easily manage your loans, requests, and citations.
We will be providing updates as the project continues, especially information on any temporary service changes as the new system is prepared in the lead up to the go live date. More information about the look, feel, and functionality of the new system will be shared throughout the summer and into the fall.
If you have any questions please reach out to our migration team lead, Kat Ryner.
