Attention Zotero Users!

Since Ebsco has made changes recently to its interface, Zotero users will have noticed that the "Save to Zotero" button either no longer appears, or is not functioning. Zotero is working on fixing this problem as of August 9th. Please visit Zotero's known problems page for more information; the library will post a notice on our blog when we hear that the problem has been fixed.

CTU Library's Online Catalog Update

To make the most of the library's online catalog, CTU users should create an account in the VuFind catalog. This account will allow you to place interlibrary loan requests, view your checked out items and renew them, email catalog records, and keep a list of favorites in your account. You can create this account at the login page by filling in the requested information, choosing an easy to remember user name and password, and filling in your library barcode information on the account creation page.

Changes to Ebsco Interface

Since the recent upgrade in the EbscoHost interface for ALTA, CPLI, etc, there are some display issues if you are using Internet Explorer 7 or earlier versions as your browser. In order to view all the screen features, we recommend all users update to IE 8, or use Firefox. Thank you.

I Want You to Know...

The library's online catalog search interface has changed to VuFind. This new online catalog is simpler to search, and we hope it will improve everyone's experience of searching for library resources. If you have specific comments, problems or questions about the library catalog, please contact the library so that we can assist you.

In order to make the transition to the new catalog easier, all CTU library users should create an account at the login page by filling in the requested information, choosing an easy to remember user name and password, and filling in the library barcode information on the account creation page. Once you have created this account, you will be able to place interlibrary loan requests in VuFind, as well as view your account and renew items checked out from CTU and the I-Share libraries. If you have not registered your CTU ID card as your library card in the library, please register in the library before attempting to create a VuFind account.
