This important advantage is only available to a beta-test partner, such as Penn. In addition, Penn gains early access to future Voyager software improvements. Recently, the Library added circulation information to bibliographic records in the new Franklin. Together with Voyager's designer, Endeavor Information Systems, the Library Systems Office is working to correct disconnects that have plagued new Franklin telnet users. Also with Endeavor, the Library is addressing date-sort and other software configuration problems.
Faster speed is an urgent priority and work is underway to provide a faster Web client.
The original mainframe version of Franklin will run in parallel with the new Franklin interfaces while the Library identifies bugs and workouts solutions with Endeavor. Return to Almanac's homepage . Return to index for this issue .
