New Homer Upgrade

Posted on by

The Libraries’ Catalog HOMER has a new look that is more colorful and easier to navigate.  We’ve eliminated library lingo, added links to book covers and descriptions, and also included a feature that  provides you with a warning before you are timed out.  Your favorite features were left intact, allowing you various search strategies, direct links to Intercampus Express/Interlibrary Loans and Course Reserves, ability to renew books online, and more.

Take a look at our new upgraded page and send along any comments or suggestions, since we’re always looking for ways to make the catalog friendlier.

HOMER (library catalog) Alternatives

Posted on by

You may have experienced difficulties accessing HOMER, the Libraries’ online catalog, over the past few days.
The problems have been sporadic and unevenly distributed across the Storrs and the regional campuses, so you may or may not have encountered problems connecting to HOMER.

If you experience difficulties connecting to HOMER, the following link leads to a brief list of library catalogs to serve as alternatives. While none of these catalogs replaces HOMER, you can use them to help identify materials: http://www.lib.uconn.edu/online/homer_alternatives.html

Alternatively, we would be happy to help you with additional strategies for finding the materials you need.
