Library Services Platform Upgrade

March 4, 2025 - 1:34pm by John Gallagher

On July 9, the Yale Library will upgrade to a new library services platform called Alma to support many library operations and functions. This message is to let you know how the transition may affect users this spring and summer and how to prepare for any impact on your research and teaching. 

Course Reserves  

  • We will be closing our fiscal year earlier than usual. Please submit suggestions for purchase, especially those needed for summer course reserves, by April 4, 2025.   

Search and Discovery  

  • For biomedical, nursing and public health articles, journals, and databases, we continue to recommend the Medical Library’s website.  

  • For books, we encourage you to begin exploring the new catalog in Quicksearch. You may also wish to experiment with Quicksearch’s Advanced Search tool.  

  • Our team is continually enhancing Quicksearch and the new catalog to meet your needs. 

  • Orbis will be retired in July 2025.
