NEOS Central System Upgrade

The University of Alberta will be upgrading the central NEOS library system software from Thursday, May 5 to Wednesday, May 11, 2011.

While the Concordia Library will be operating in a “business as usual” mode, during the upgrade you will not be able to place holds, renew items or view your "My Account" information.

All other online catalogue functionality, including searching and displaying results, will be unaffected.

Should you experience any problems or have any questions at all please contact Circulation Services staff at 479-9338.

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause but this upgrade is essential to maintain the smooth operation of the NEOS database which now exceeds 7 million records!

Celebrate by reading a book on Saturday, April 23rd!
