Letter to the editor
Library computer software not ready
THE EDITOR,
Thank you for the story in your
edition of Nov. 11, page one
"Library to launch new software."
Unfortunately, the computer
software is not ready for the Huron
County Library to use, and I have
decided to postpone the migration to
Unicorn due to take place Nov. 18-
Letter
25. We hope that people will
understand that it is better to
introduce a new system that works at
a later date, than follow a schedule
which will not provide the product
we anticipated.
All libraries in Huron County will
now be open their regular hours right
through November.
Library users will be able to search
the library catalogue, other
databases, and catalogues of other
public libraries simultaneously. The
new catalogue will provide user-
friendly access through the library's
web page. With the new catalogue,
you will be able to renew books and
place holds, check your account,
personalize your web page, and even
register your favourite authors so
that the catalogue will notify you of
new books that meet your profile.
New features will include simpler
and more intuitive catalogue
searches, bestseller and prize-
winning lists, Colour book jackets,
and book reviews.
We anticipate that we will migrate
to the new software sometime in
January or February of 2005. there
will be a week-long shutdown
during this time for data transfer and
staff training.
We will publicize the shutdown as
soon as we know so that people can
stock up on books, CDs, DVDs, and
other library materials to tide them
over the temporary closings.
Beth Ross.
