Why am I seeing fewer NEOS Library Library locations and books in the Library Catalogue?
Answer
In July 2025, the University of Alberta Library will introduce a new way for our students, faculty and staff to search and find library resources.
This means you will see various changes as we move through our implementation project. The most immediate is the departure of several NEOS libraries from the shared catalogue. As we move to the new system, NEOS libraries, such as MacEwan, will be leaving our shared catalogue.
When a NEOS library leaves our shared catalogue:
- Their items will no longer show in catalogue search results. Any holds placed on items from these libraries will be cancelled.
- Checked out items from these libraries will not be renewable and will need to be returned by the due date. Please Ask Us if you need an exception made.
- If you wish to access items from these libraries, please request them through our Interlibrary Loan service, or recommend a purchase (CCID required) for the University of Alberta Library.
- These library locations will be removed from our system, so you will not be able to use them as a general pickup location for your holds.
