Mason Libraries’ Catalog Upgrade
Mason Libraries’ catalog will be unavailable on March 14 and 15, 2012 as we upgrade the underlying system software. During that time, you may use our “discovery” catalog to identify items in our collection — but we will be unable to provide the current status of items (e.g., checked-out or on-the-shelf) until our upgrade is completed. Other systems, including library.gmu.edu, will not be interrupted.
