Midcat, the library catalog, will be unavailable for several hours starting around 5:00 p.m. Wednesday, August 31st while we upgrade to a new version of the operating system.
There are three options for identifying items in our collection when Midcat is down (thanks to Barbara for the Summon reminder):
- Using Summon search. (you won’t be able to see availability of items.)
- Searching NExpress (limit your search to Items located at Middlebury College.)
- Searching WorldCat (check the box that limits your search to Items in my library.)
You can also find MIDCAT items using a Summon search. Summon has access to a copy of our catalog even when MIDCAT is unavailable. However, you won’t be able to see availability of items. Use the Summon search on the go/lib page or use go/summon
