Changes are Coming to LINKcat in Spring 2026!Library users from across the South Central Library System can look forward to new features in LINKcat this spring! LINKcat, the South Central Library System’s online catalog, combines and organizes the collections of 51 member libraries– nearly 3 million items– for quick and easy sharing between the different libraries.Patrons interact with LINKcat directly through a web interface and mobile app that allows them to place and manage holds on materials, renew their check-outs, and more. Library staff use LINKcat to automate the lending of materials, manage library card accounts, and create data-driven reports.The South Central Library System recently selected a new software, SirsiDynix Symphony, to power LINKcat—bringing enhanced features, robust security, and improved reporting to libraries and patrons alike. While its look will remain similar, the new LINKcat will offer enhancements not currently available to patrons. Patrons can expect the current version of LINKcat to be offline for a few days before the new LINKcat makes its public debut in April, 2026. Library staff will support patrons through the downtime, providing clear instruction on what services are available and how to access library materials. All South Central Library System member libraries plan to remain open during this time. Additional details about specific changes coming to LINKcat and the mobile app will be announced later this spring.
