Update - New Library Computer System

Well it's not long to go before we start using the new library system. I want to advise you of some of the changes that will be happening.

March 10-15
From March 10-15 there will be no access to the web catalogue i.e. no renewals, no reservations via the web. Members will need to phone or visit the branch to renew and reserve.

March 16
The LIVE DATE will be 16th March.

All members will automatically receive a PIN number to replace the current password. Members will need to contact the library after 16th March to obtain their new PIN. We will be setting up a form on the library website where you may request your PIN to be sent to you via email.

Changes to charges
Changes will be occurring in the following areas:

• Overdue charges will be 15c per item - up to $5 for junior items and up to $10 for adult items.
• Reservations charges will be paid at time of pick up not when the reservation is placed.

A message from Joseph Cullen, Chief Executive of Eastern Regional Libraries Corporation:

"Being part of the Swift Consortium offers our library customers wider access to library materials. The Unicorn system has improved customer service features which will benefit members of the public. This is an exciting time for Eastern Regional Libraries and we look forward to implementing further improvements in the next twelve months."

We will advise you of the progress and any further changes as we get closer to the live date. I'm currently preparing a new set of catalogue tutorials that I will make available once the new catalogue is live.

Cheers, Maryanne
