System migration at the library successfully completed: new OPAC and more options for loans
Concerns/Category:
- All courses
On August 25th, following months of preparation in collaboration with the Verbundzentrale of the Bavarian Library Network, FOLIO—our new library management system—went live.
FOLIO stands for “The future of libraries is open,” and that holds true in every respect.
The system is completely open source; all data is stored on servers at the Leibniz Computing Center and not, for example, in the cloud of an international provider. This ensures that we retain control over all catalog, circulation, and user data at all times.
And what new features does FOLIO offer you, our users?
First and foremost, a new, more modern OPAC: https://katalog.oth-aw.de/
The OPAC login process is also changing: University members (i.e., students and staff) can now log in using their university ID and the corresponding password.
Longer loan periods—automatic renewals are now available: In addition to the standard 4-week loan period, borrowed books are automatically renewed 5 times (for students) or 4 times (for external users), each time for an additional four weeks.
If there are no holds on the item, students can keep borrowed books for up to 6 months, and external users for up to 5 months.OTH AW staff now have a loan period of 3 years, with two automatic renewals.
If there are no holds, staff members can keep borrowed books for up to 9 years.Change to the interlibrary loan service for articles: With the switch to FOLIO, the direct download link for users—which was previously included in the email notification—is no longer available.
Downloads are now available via the interlibrary loan account, which can be accessed after logging into OPAC via Account -> Orders -> Interlibrary Loan Orders (https://katalog.oth-aw.de/vufind/Holds/List). (This is also stated in the confirmation email that you will continue to receive upon successful completion of your order.)
As with any system change, we naturally still have a few areas that need work, but we’re already working hard to address them.
Currently, the self-service checkout system is not yet available. If you’d like to borrow books, please come to the circulation desk for the time being.
The interlibrary loan service for books is also still in development; we hope to be able to offer this service again in early to mid-September. However, the interlibrary loan service for articles should already be up and running again.Finally, a small request: most of the new developments and changes are falling on us as the library team, since some of the workflows are now completely different in the new system. So please be patient if things move a bit more slowly here over the next few weeks while we’re still getting familiar with the system.
We’re very much looking forward to offering you an even better, more efficient, and more appealing service with FOLIO in the future!

Freuen Sie sich auf spannende Einblicke in technische Arbeitsabläufe, gestalterische Entscheidungen und die Entwicklung
einer Produktion, die seit Jahrzehnten fester Bestandteil der deutschen Fernsehlandschaft ist.Ort: Audimax
