There's a new library catalog on the way. In summer, 2009, OskiCat will replace Pathfinder and Gladis, which will both be retired, as the online catalog for UC Berkeley libraries. OskiCat includes all library materials listed in Pathfinder and GLADIS, plus items in the Institute of Governmental Studies and Transportation Studies Libraries and the Water Resources Center Archives.

OskiCat combines the functions of Pathfinder and GLADIS, and adds some new features.
With OskiCat you will be able to:

•     Find books & journals from more UCB campus libraries.
•     Limit results to your preferred libraries & save your searches.
•     Limit results to online or available items.
•     Find course reserves quickly & easily.
•     View status of individual volumes & journal issues.
•     Quickly see what items you have checked out.
•     Easily renew items online.
•     Request materials checked out to another borrower.
•     Get e-mail notices when your items are about to be due.
•     Get updates on items you have requested from storage.
•     ... And much more!

Heather Thams of the Biosciences and Natural Resources Library, in collaboration with the OskiCat Public Information Group, has produced a short movie providing an overview of OskiCat.
