Updates and timeline for Library Services Platform (LSP) Upgrade – OhioLINK borrowing unavailable beginning May 23

As work progresses on the Library Services Platform (LSP) Upgrade, please note important updates and timeline. Because this migration involves several library systems, including the catalog, acquisitions and circulation, a pause in certain services is necessary.

  • May 23 – OhioLINK and SearchOhio borrowing and renewals unavailable. Physical books from other Ohio universities, as well as materials from public libraries, cannot be requested nor can previously borrowed materials be renewed. While OhioLINK and SearchOhio services are unavailable, work with UC librarians to find alternatives that fulfill teaching and research needs. OhioLINK requesting will return with the LSP go live this summer. The supplemental SearchOhio lending will return in the fall. Interlibrary Loan (ILL) remains available.
  • Early June – look for a preview of the draft LSP discovery interface.
  • June 25 – the new LSP is scheduled to go live.

The Library LSP upgrade website includes more information on the project, including a FAQ. Contact your subject librarian with any questions.
