Migration News

  • The Eckhart Public Library and Garrett Public Library migrations have been scheduled for August 1, 2016. Their on-site training for Local Administration and Reporting is open to other area libraries! Please see below for registration links if you’d like to send staff.

    Catalogers should note that a modified freeze will be in place beginning at 7am July 29-8am August 1, 2016. Please watch the listserv for updates to that timeline. During a modified cataloging freeze, staff are welcome to add and modify holdings. Other cataloging activities are suspended.
