This summer, the library system software at UD and all other OhioLINK institutions will be streamlined to enhance services and operations.
Effective June 23, UDiscover will have a new look and serve as the website to search for and request UD and OhioLINK items and log in to your library account. The website you currently use for the UD catalog and to access your library account will retire.
OhioLINK borrowing and renewals are unavailable through June 25. Because of the new software, and the need to reconcile requests in the current software, OhioLINK auto-renewals ended on Friday, May 23. This may require you to return materials earlier than expected. All due dates for borrowed materials will be observed, even if they fall during this period. Through June 25, requests you’d normally make through OhioLINK can be made via interlibrary loan. UD Libraries cannot guarantee every request, and it may take longer to receive materials. Click here for assistance or questions.
My Library Account will be unavailable June 10-23. You will be unable to view your account, make local requests, pay fees, or renew items you have checked out. Library fees cannot be removed from accounts during this time. Email circdesk@udayton.edu for assistance with your account.
We appreciate your cooperation and patience as we work through this transition. Questions are expected and welcome. Contact your liaison librarian or Roesch Library.
