The reaction of users to the new interface has been favourable, and few problems reported. The most serious one arising on the circulation side was an initial inability to book Temporary Reserve items overnight, which had to be referred to Innovative. This has now been fixed. Monograph acquisitions data was converted during June and July, although a substantial proportion of records were duplicated, and extra work was required to rectify this.
All departmental orders are now on the system, as are all serials titles.
Complex check-in predictions are being keyed in by hand, adding to the workload of acquisitions staff. The inter-library loan module has had some modifications to suit the U.K. situation. The circulation module, MilCirc, is about to be released. We expect to receive the remaining modules during the course of the session. It was reported at the last meeting that it was intended to evaluate, select and install a new CD-ROM networking system by the start of the new session.
