The Royal Danish Library is moving to a new library system
On the 19 November 2019, the Royal Library will launch a new library system. For users, this will mean a new user interface and some altered, or completely new, functionalities. Here are all the most important dates and changes.
During implementation, certain library services will be shutdown.
The main consequences:
- The old system will be closed for loans, reservations, renewals and returns on Friday 15th. November at 18:00.
- Via the AU Library’s website, it will still be possible to search for material and access electronic resources
- Inter-library loans (loans from external libraries) will not be possible for a period – at least 5 weeks from the changeover date. So, remember to make any reservations in good time, ideally prior to 1/10.
- Users are encouraged to store any items currently on their personal 'To do list' elsewhere (e.g. in a reference management tool), as this facility will not transferred to the new system
- In the new system, all users will need to be created anew, with a new PIN code. More information about this will follow.
The Royal Danish Library will continuously publish any status updates and other information here. It is encouraged to check this page at regular intervals.
The move itself will inevitably entail some disruption in the usual routine for library users, but it is important to highlight that a single library system, with a single gateway to all library resources, will ultimately be a key factor in the development of the Royal Library’s study and research services.
