Within Horizon, and HIP, we have a number of locations. One of these is ‘a’. It used to be called ‘Restricted Loans’, last year became ‘Library High Demand’, and is now called ‘UC Library’.

This is an empty location – with the new High Demand process we no longer catalogue items into the ‘a’ location. But it remains important because our public Catalogue (HIP) uses ‘a’ as its home location. This doesn’t affect how you search or use the Catalogue, although it could; it was just historically useful.

SirsiDynix have introduced a mobile app called BookMyne. This also needs a home location but, unlike HIP, the location name displays. Our existing location names imply (incorrectly) that you were searching just part of the Library e.g. Law Library, Library High Demand, Education Library.

To get around this we have renamed the ‘a’ location to UC Library and we will point BookMyne to this location.
