Introducing Koha

We're  moving to a new library management system called Koha. 
 

We migrate from our old system, Millennium to Koha next week and go live next Friday.

We foresee a smooth transition but ask for your patience in advance in case of any problems or delays.
 

If you have any queries or problems with the library system over the next few weeks, please do contact us.

For more information on Koha go to:  http://www.koha.org/

We'll keep you posted on any news or issues so watch this space!

Do you know what academic integrity is?

We're open late this evening

We are very quiet here in the Galway campus library #fridayfeeling.

But remember we are open late tonight & until 1pm tomorrow so pop-in and say 'hi', browse, study, print etc.

Ebrary Ebooks now ProQuest Ebook Central

and login with your student/staff email and computer network password  

(how you login to a PC in GMIT).

If you previously had an Ebrary bookshelf, you will need to go through the following steps to migrate the contents.

• Upon accessing Proquest Ebook Central, click “Bookshelf” in the top right corner.
• Click “Get Started”. In the top right corner, sign in using your old ebrary username and password.
• Your bookshelf will then be transferred to Proquest Ebook Central and you should get the following message: “We moved your ebrary bookshelf to Ebook Central”.

You will no longer need a separate username and password to add items to your bookshelf. Simply add them and they will be retained, as long as you are accessing Proquest Ebook Central from the library website.
