Overview
AUT’s Softlink catalogue can only be used by one person at a time because we have a single-user licence, so we ask all librarians to book a time slot using our Bookings page. Each session is limited to 2 hours to make sure everyone gets a fair go.
This booking system helps us organise access and avoid clashes. It makes it easy to lock in a time when you can jump in and add or update records in AUT's Digital Theses Repository.

Why Booking Is Required
The Softlink Library system only allows one active login at any time.
Without bookings, multiple users may attempt to sign in simultaneously, blocking access for others.
Bookings help us coordinate use and prevent access issues.

Important Guidelines
Use only your allocated time slot. Please do not start early or go overtime.
Sign out when finished. The system does not automatically log you out.
Do not attempt simultaneous access. Our licence supports only one user at a time.
If you're unable to use your booked time, please notify AUT as early as possible so the slot can be made available to others.
