What if I want to request new library materials for purchase?
Answer
Walsh University students, staff and faculty are always welcome to make recommendations/requests for new resources. Requests are funded based on available budget funds and how well the resources fulfill the scope and mission of the Brother Edmond Drouin Library.
Please Note: During the migration there will be periods of time where the Library will be unable to add or change data within our catalog and systems. Materials acquired during these periods will be added once these system pauses have been completed. Below are tentative dates for Migration related system freezes.
- Sierra Technical Freeze: March 28 - April 25, 2025
- No changes in Sierra as Ex Libris pulls library data from Sierra for the final time.
- Alma IZ Configuration Freeze: May 2 - June 18, 2025
- No changes to the Alma IZ configurations can be made after this date, until post go-live. Data changes in Alma after this date will be overwritten by the final data load
- Inn-Reach Freeze (OhioLINK and SearchOhio): May 23 - June 20, 2025
- SearchOhio and OhioLINK lending pause.
- Sierra Local Circulation Freeze: June 3- June 18, 2025
- Local circulation after these freeze dates will not be migrated into Alma by Ex Libris. Options for tracking circulation offline after the local circulation freezes through go-live will be developed
