<span style="color:rgb(14,16,26)">Due to GVSU's migration to FOLIO, MeLCat services will be down for an extended period of time. GVSU users will be able to borrow items through January 31, 2021. GVSU will stop lending materials to other libraries on Dec. 18<sup>, </sup>2020.
Due dates for items borrowed through MeL will be adjusted so that they are due no later than April 1st. We hope that MeL will be up by Fall 2021, but some API development still needs to happen to get MeLCat and FOLIO to work together. We’ll be sure to keep
everyone up to date on the status of our connection to MeLCat.</span></p>
