I'm back from holidays and I'm ready to blog! Thanks to Jayson for taking care of things while I was away. A lot of things will be happening in the next couple of months. As I previously blogged, Eastern Regional Libraries will be changing to a new library computer system and catalogue in March.
We will be updating you on the progress of the new library system and make any announcements on the blog and on the library website.
The new system will mean improved functionality for staff and also offer our customers improved features through the Public Catalogue (called iBistro).
- Improved search functions and access to items held by other libraries in the Swift Consortium
- Email notification of overdue and reservation notices.
- Alerts for new items that match your interests
- Enhanced reservation facilities and payment of charges on pick up only.
- Clearer summary of user account information
- Status of reservations will be easily seen with an option to cancel reservations
- Display of Bill/Account information
- Enhanced contents information including book covers, book reviews and contents of titles
- Descriptive locations of items available in the library
- “Nearby items on shelves” option – show other titles in the same general area of your search
