Hi,
It seemed suddenly a lot of patrons call in today to report that they couldn’t renew their books. The reason is most likely that they have reached the maximum renewal period for the loans. From the system job that was run on August 13th, you can see 2765 loans were unable to be renewed. I randomly checked two patrons and found some of their loans were created in 2014. They have been renewing books that were borrowed in 2014. It definitely violates our circulation policy which only allows patrons to renew a loan for up to 3 times. The maximum renewal period was not correctly set up in Alma in the past. That’s why they could always renew items. The bug has been fixed.
Cheers,
Wei XUAN | Head, Libraries Systems | University of Manitoba Libraries | 204-474-6710

Hi,
The EZproxy authentication for off-campus access is down. Users will get an alert saying "Invalid ID or password" (Capture2.jpg). We have asked OCLC to fix it ASAP. I will keep you updated.
If a patron reports a login issue, please check the URL. If it starts with https://login.uml.idm.oclc.org , then it is the EZproxy login.
Logging into the library account is not affected.
I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Wei
Hello All,
Log ins through EZ Proxy from off campus are not working right now. We are aware of the issue and working hard to get everything back in order.
Please ask people to try again in a while. We will let you know when the problem is fixed.
