UCL Library Services is pleased to let you know that the central sites card catalogue has been digitised and can now be searched online at http://cardcat.ucl.ac.uk.

The card catalogue forms a record of items acquired by UCL Library Services until the early 1980s, when the computerised catalogue began. Many of the items recorded in the card catalogue will be housed in the Library’s Special Collections or off-site Store.

A continuous programme of adding records to eUCLid, the online catalogue, is in place. Therefore, it is advisable to use eUCLid first to look for material currently held by any part of the Library.

Further instructions on how to use the digitised card catalogue can be found at http://cardcat.ucl.ac.uk.

By Cecile Dubuis, on 11 June 2008

dvd.jpeDue to the current refurbishment, the audiovisual collection is temporary unavailable.

Shortly it will be re-housed on the second floor in the Anthropology Periodicals and DVD & Video player Room.

Once the refurbishment is completed the collection will return to its previous location near the Main IssueDesk.

Some changes:
DVD disks will now be kept at the issue desk, the boxes will still be on the shelves and available to be browsed, however you will need to go to issue desk to borrow the disk.
All audiovisual materials will be available to borrow as week loans.

Libraries Building Work News

Over the past year, UCL Library Services has been working on a proposal for the implementation of self-service technology within the Science Library.

The aim of this project is to modernise the existing issue desk service by installing self-service machines which use radio frequency identification (RFID). The service will allow for borrowing of books, renewals and returns during periods when the issue desk is closed.

This project will be implemented over the next few months and finish in the autumn. A project website will be ready soon, with a link from this blog.
