That is because we have switched to a new catalog.  The new catalog is more efficient so  you won’t have to wait as long for the catalog to open and for it to find items.

The new catalog has both a mobile web page that will work in any mobile browser and apps that you can download. The link for the mobile web page is http://atriuum.mcpherson.edu/opac/miller/index.html?mode=mobile. I will post about the apps soon; there is specific information you have to put in before the app will work.

Since the initial setup must be done in the library, why don’t you do this before you need them for your research project.

EBSCOhost has the link for instructions clear at the bottom of the initial EBSCOhost page (http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?profile=ehost). You have to click that link while you are on campus so that the system will know you are a McPherson student.

Ebrary requires you to create a login and passwork from a computer while you are on campus; go to the main (http://site.ebrary.com/lib/mcpherson) and click “login” on the upper right corner, then click “create an account”. Once you have a login and password, you can go to itunes or the google play and down load the app and login.
