Trying again for a new SIUCat

Last summer, Morris Library, along with the other libraries that are part of I-Share, switched to a new version of the library catalog. That upgrade turned into a minor fiasco for CARLI, the consortial organization responsible for I-Share. By the end of summer, the public views of the catalog were reverted back to the old version.

CARLI is slowly, tentatively trying again with the new catalog interface. Sometime next week, it will be possible to go to https://i-share7.carli.illinois.edu to access I-Share or to https://i-share7.carli.illinois.edu/sic to access SIUCat. The old look for SIUCat will still be available, but Morris Library may make the catalogs default to the new interface during part of winter break.

Please let me know if you have comments about the new interface.
