Imperial catalogue reload underway
We are currently reloading the Imperial College London catalogue to reflect local catalogue changes. Consequently, c. half of the Imperial catalogue will be unavailable on Copac this week. It should begin to reappear next Monday but the full reload is likely to take a couple of weeks. Apologies for the short-term loss of availability of this material.

new Copac trial interfaces
We are beginning a major redevelopment of the Copac National, Academic, and Specialist library catalogue service. The first stage of this work will introduce a login version of Copac with a range of new personalised facilities. Alongside this we will retain an open-access version of Copac.
Building on the recent Copac Beta trial, we have two new Copac Beta trial interfaces.
Personalised Copac, as seen in the beta trial, now has a new addition in the form of 'my local library' search, which allows members of some universities to search their own library catalogue alongside Copac, giving a single result set. This requires you to login to Copac.
The new standard Copac is a streamlined service which allows you to search and export records without logging in to the personalised Copac. It also includes a new journal table-of-contents display (where available).
Both these interfaces can be accessed at http://beta.copac.ac.uk/, and the trial will be running until 26th July.
There is a very short feedback questionnaire for each interface. We would appreciate it if you could fill in the questionnaire, or just email the Copac helpdesk (copac@mimas.ac.uk) with any comments you may have.
