The SU Libraries, along with the 17 libraries across the University System of Maryland and Affiliated Institutions (USMAI), will implement a new integrated library system on May 23, 2024. Throughout the spring, our migration task force has been working to replace the current system, which has been in place for over 20 years.
An integrated library system manages the basic functions of a library, such as checking library materials in and out, keeping track of orders and subscriptions, and providing the infrastructure that allows library users to search and access library materials. This system migration is a huge step forward, and will help modernize the current functionality and usability, increasing cooperation with other systems across our campus and with other academic institutions across the state.
Our new search interface, called SURF (SU Resource Finder), will streamline search functions and your access to local resources and scholarly research. This will replace our current search interface. In the new system, you will notice more features that will allow you to more easily manage your loans, requests, and citations.
Try the sandbox version of SURF today! Please note, this is still a testing environment. Items and configurations may change, and users should not save any links until the full system goes live on May 23.
