Welcome

Welcome to the new IRC online public access catalogue. Powered by the open-source integrated library system 'Koha', this new management system presents patrons with a more efficient means for browsing, locating, and accessing items from the extensive collection of assets held at the Great Northern Way Campus.

Please be aware that our new OPAC system is a work in progress. Updating its content, features, and resources will be an ongoing project for staff. If you have any suggestions, concerns, or questions regarding the IRC OPAC system, please feel free to contact us. We are particularly interested in receiving feedback from students regarding the type of resources they would like to see available through the IRC OPAC to aid in their academic studies. All suggestions are welcome.
