'OskiCat' was the winning submission in a staff contest to select a name for the new UCB Library online catalog , which replaced Pathfinder and Gladis as of June 24, 2009. Oski (Berkeley mascot) + cat(alog) = OskiCat.

	What's OskiCat, and how does it affect me?
	I was on approved leave last semester and extended my library privileges for 6 months. This extension will expire before the fall semester begins in August, and I have a library book that is due at the end of July. What can I do to make sure I can keep it through the 3-week period between its due date and when my privileges are reinstated?
	How can Berkeley patrons request material from Stanford via the Research Library Cooperative Program (RLCP)?
	How do I add the catalog information for the items I already have checked out to the "My List" section on OskiCat? This is useful if I need this information after I have returned books to the library.
	I am an emeritus UCB faculty member, and in MyOskiCat, the Inventory screen lists a date for the expiration of my library privileges - why? So far as I know there is no expiration date (apart from death!) for faculty library privileges. Please clarify.
