Some of you may have noticed that we are closed today. In fact, we are closed all week (April 18-24th) to "automate". We're entering as many of our library materials as possible into an open source automated system called Koha.
Koha will enable you, as library users, to access our catalog from the internet...at home, your iPhone, etc. Patrons will also be able to set up an account so that you can access your library records from home....You will be able to answer the question: "What books do I still have out?" by logging into your account.
Today, we've made a good dent in our collection. We're celebrating our achievements...like: "I've used 3 sheets of bar codes!" of "I made it through the Bs!"
We probably won't get this done in a week, but we are hoping to get a good chunk done.
Tedious, detail oriented work it is, but exciting and a big step into the 21st Century for our little library.
Chocolate appreciated ;)
