Realm update

Yesterday we proudly opened the doors to the new library at Realm opposite Ringwood station. Check out the photos on Facebook - Realm Opens!

We're still waiting for some services to be restored so here's the current update:

Holds
We are currently working on access to the building via courier and hope to add Realm as a pickup location next week.

Public PCs

Four public PCs are operational. We are awaiting further electrical work.

Phone

Calls to Realm are currently redirected to Croydon Library, but will be directed to Realm later this afternoon. Croydon staff will be able to assist with renewals etc.

Photocopy/printing

There's no copy/printing available until further notice

WiFi
WiFi is working, however some of the WiFi benches do not have power so it's best to charge before visiting.

Catalogue unavailable from 9pm tonight

SirsiDynix will be performing scheduled maintenance on the catalogue tonight from 9-9:30pm. During this time the catalogue will be unavailable. The maintenance will increase server memory. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Searching for DVDs? It's easy

If you're looking for a DVD title try adding the format to the Title Search. This works with all non-book titles and helps particularly if the title is a common word. Thanks to SirsiDynix for adding this popular feature back into the catalogue for us.

Looking for The Godfather on DVD

1. Select Title from the 2nd drop-down menu.
2. Type godfather dvd in the search box and click Search.

Upgrade news: Library app, Lists and more

My Lists

We sincerely apologise that any lists members had on the previous catalogue were not transferred with the upgrade to the new Library Management System. Unfortunately we discovered this too late to advise members for backup purposes.

For anyone wishing to re-create their extensive lists I would recommend periodically emailing or printing the lists as a back-up.

Library app

As a result of the upgrade the Library app has had to be re-submitted to Apple so is temporarily unavailable. We will advise via the website and social media as soon as this is available. Apologies for any inconvenience.

In the meantime, please access the library catalogue via a web browser on your device.

Update bookmarks/Favorites

The web address of the library catalogue has changed. Please update your bookmarks/favorites with the new address:

https://erlc.ent.sirsidynix.net.au

New feature - Branch holdings on Brief Results

We've added one of the most requested features to the new catalogue. Members will now find the title availability - branch, date due etc under the title on the Brief Results screen.

Thanks for your patience! If you have any questions, please ask library staff.
