In order to make sure everyone on campus knows what is happening with the conversion from Datatel to Jenzabar, we have created the Jenzabar Implementation Project web page. You'll find news and information about milestones as well as the project calendar. The project status and timeline will be updated on a monthly basis so that you can see the progress that the team is making toward that end goal. Finally, there is a list of who is on the project team, so if you have any questions, you will know who to contact!

The Library catalog, BELCAT, as well as library resources made available from this web site (JSTOR, Lexis/Nexis, FindIt, WorldCat, etc.) will be unavailable on Thursday, June 30th beginning at 5:30pm while IT staff complete an important network equipment upgrade.  The library will be open and all of our local, physical resources will be available for use and loan.

Contractors will begin work on Monday, June 13 to replace the building roof.  The library will remain open during construction.

Due to a routine upgrade, the FindIt@Beloit service may be temporarily unavailable on Monday, March 7.  This upgrade may affect use of the FindIt@Beloit button found in library databases as well as the Find Journals search box on the library's homepage.  If you require assistance locating materials while this service is unavailable, please stop by the library reference desk or call x2544.

Six-outlet surge protectors are installed on study tables throughout the library.  Look for signs with a power strip graphic affixed to table tops.  The power strips are affixed to the central divider on 4-seat tables and the side leg of many 2-seat tables.  A few extra outlets have also been added to couch and chair seating areas on all three levels.
