Not much progress this week. We have reported everything on the list on Camelot to SS and are waiting for responses. The catalogue updating is expected to start 16 Feb. For more detail see Camelot. Please continue to report issues and user comments. I know there has been some negative comments from some academic staff so it would be good to gage how widespread this is. There are issues with our catalogue records that I hope we can fix reasonably quickly. The best way to search is to avoid Boolean words and punctuation in searches, and to use the facets.
