We are pleased to announce that we have completed our upgrade from
ALEPH version 15.2 to version 17.01. and have brought up our new web
OPAC this past weekend. The web interface provides our user with
a a new, more flexible, more
powerful and easy to search catalog interface for our user community.
Some of the salient features of the new interface:
* Keyword searching from main page
* Advanced searching including limiting by format,
language, date range
* Brief list includes format
* Link from "Brief list" to full bibliographic record
or Library holdings
* Personal sign in
* Online renewals
* Select, save and email sets of bibliographic information
For further search tips see the Help screens
We still have some adjustments we want to make to our ALEPH set-up,
to provide expanded service. In the meanwhile, though, we invite you
