New technologies bring changes to many aspects of our lives every day.
Our library systems are no exception. Librarians and systems vendors continue to exploit new technologies in order to improve library services. As a result, today's integrated library systems support sophisticated gateways to all types of information. Here at the Brandeis Libraries, we are implementing a new library system which will give us the platform we need to build a gateway to a full range of information sources. While changes in the online catalog will be the most noticeable to our users, an integrated library system provides the backbone for much of the work done in the library.
