The New Library System – A Brief Introduction
New Library System – Introduction (Click to open in a new window/tab).
What?
At the end of December 2013, we will migrate to a new library system for finding books, articles, and more. The new Reed Library System will help you find the information and materials you’re looking for at the Reed Library and beyond.
Why?
This migration is part of a major cooperative effort of the Orbis Cascade Alliance, a consortium of 37 academic libraries across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Reed has been a member of the Alliance, which provides Summit borrowing for our community, since 1995. As a consortium, we share services, technologies, and collections, and this move from 37 systems to a single shared library system is a major step forward in our collaboration. By sharing one system, we’ll improve the research experience for our students and faculty and better manage all of our resources.
