Internet-Based Library Catalogue

Really, otherwise-handy internet-based method of perusing the local city library catalogue and placing things on hold?

All of a sudden, between certain undisclosed nighttime hours, you just decide not to operate?  Is there a switch that someone flips at the library HQ before leaving, and/or sometime around midnight (as best as I can tell) such that the catalogue doesn’t work in these arbitrary “after hours”?

I’m just about sure: you don’t have any items in your catalogue that match with the word “see.”  Nope, not a single title with that combination of letters within.  Surely this has nothing to do with the fact that it’s around 4:00AM.  Surely.

Who programmed this thing?  Because, fire him or her.  There’s another library in town whose catalogue I can look at (and from which I can request things to be put on hold) via the internet 24 hours a day, without fail.  You’re better than this.  Hire the ones that made that other library’s catalogue.  It’s a smart move.

Update your primitive, or at least inconvenient, system.  Or, face the Really?
