Published 13th November 2024
Recently we've migrated to a new library management system, allowing us to manage customer data and stock more effectively. This is the computer system that our libraries use day-to-day, and it also linked to the online catalogue which you can access with your Inspire library card. When visiting our libraries, your experience will be much the same and our friendly approachable staff will do their best to assist you in your queries. You'll be able to use our self-service kiosks as usual, and your account will not be impacted by the change.
If you would like to view your account online, search our stock, reserve items or renew your current loans; check out our NEW online catalogue! You still get all the same great features of our old catalogue, but with improved usability, mobile optimisation and even more book recommendations than before.
Having problems? Take a look at our handy FAQs or watch a demonstration of how to log in.
While our catalogue is up and running already, there will be a period of time where data is transferring over to the new system. This may mean that certain item entries and account history, including loan history, could look different. Please be aware that we are aware of this and hope to resolve the issues as soon as possible.
If you need a little extra help or require assistance, you can contact our helpful Ask Inspire team on 01623 677200 who will be happy to help.
