What are people saying about QCAT?
From an
undergraduate:
Nice and accessible!
Easier to use than the
old QCAT!
From a graduate:
Bouquets for the new
system! I just renewed
over a dozen books and
it was so quick and easy
with the new "tick-box"
method.
Great work !
From a Queen's faculty member:
The new QCAT is miraculous for how
easy it is to renew books.
• simple search screens
• useful help guides
• great email capability
• easy to use
• enjoy the Web interface
• instant access
From a graduate:
Hi. I like the new
QCAT …
… and congratulations!
Thank you!
