Update 9/26: Good news, the library catalog, HOMER is back up and running.

We regret that HOMER is temporarily unavailable. The problem is being investigated and HOMER will be restored as soon as possible.

Alternatives to HOMER:

Worldcat

ICONN.org –reQuest

BLC Virtual Catalog [choose “Guest”]

Today thus far, our library Catalog HOMER is back up but you will experience some slowness in searches and logins. We are still working hard to bring HOMER back to its full capacity. Remember as an alternative try using the State-wide library catalog reQuest or Worldcat. You can run searches for an author/keyword/title/subject, to find out if the UCONN libraries has your item.

You are still able to make Interlibrary Loan and InterCampus requests by using the Libraries online loan request form on the DD-ILL page. Don’t forget to include a call number and the campus location of the title needed.

Effective October 1, 2007 the library’s Cash printing cost will be $0.25 cents per page.

If you have your Husky One Card, the cost of Card printing remains at $0.10 cents per page. Get your photo taken at the Registrar office in room 2.02 during photo hours and pick up your Husky One Card about 1-2 weeks later. (onecard.uconn.edu)

You will need your One Card to charge out books, retreive Reserve materials, Printing and Photocopy at the Library.

HOMER, the library catalog is currently unavailable today. We are working to get the problem fixed soon.  In the meantime, use the Statewide-wide, CT Library Catalog -ICONN to search for books and Worldcat to submit request until the problem with our catalog is resolved.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

At the start of the Fall 2007 semester, our library upgraded nine new computer stations with Microsoft Office 2007 (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Access not Publisher). Microsoft Office 2007 has a very different look to it than it’s predecessor. Too many changes to list here but Microsoft has a training page to learn more about Office 2007.

Our most asked question since we’ve gotten Office 2007 is how to print. There is two simple methods to print from our library computer stations:

1. Click on the CTRL key + P

2. or Click on the Microsoft Logo and select “Print” from the drop down menu

3. either choice will bring up the print dialogue box to select the library’s Cash or Card printer options.

The UConn Libraries access to the Boston Library Consortium (BLC) Virtual Catalog is currently not available today. Steps to restore service is underway.

UConn staff, students and faculty are encouraged to make their Loan request via WorldCat (http://rdl.lib.uconn.edu/databases/947)> for books outside of the UConn system. For books within the UConn Library system, please continue to use the Inter Campus Express (ICE) online form. Look for the “request ice” tab in the HOMER, library catalog. You will need your NetID to login.

What is the BLC?
The Virtual Catalog provides a single, searchable catalog of books owned by participating libraries of the Boston Library Consortium. Qualified patrons of these libraries may directly request material from the other participants. UConn students, faculty and staff (including retirees) may search and request material from 19 libraries.
