As we prepare for the launch of an exciting new service that will simplify borrowing between 16 Ontario University Libraries, we are making some changes to our loan policies.
Loan periods for most books in our collection will be changing to 120 days + unlimited renewals for all students, faculty and staff. This means that as long as you continue to renew your book online, users with active accounts can keep the book as long as you need.
Given the library's announced migration to Omni, our upgraded library system, we are unable to process renewals of items until Monday January 6th.
If you need to renew items and are unable to get to the library in person, you can also call us at 519-253-3000 ext. 3402.
In addition to renewals:
This past weekend, ten University of Windsor Computer Science students took up the challenge of the HackWE Code Jam: use the City of Windsor's set of Open Data to create an interesting app. And that they did:
Our library catalogue tells you a lot of things about the books that we have in our collection, but for a period of time, it didn't tell you on what floor your books were located and you had to look up each item in this table on our website: http://leddy.uwindsor.ca/call-number-locations
But that's been fixed!
