Our new computer system is on its way!


The real countdown has begun, this time next week we will be going 'live' with our new Library Management system that I previously spoke about. On Thursday April 17th we will be changing over to the Unicorn system as part of the SWIFT consortium. What does this mean for you?

The first thing is that our libraries will be all closed until 2pm on the 17th. We need to make sure that all is running well and that the staff are feeling comfortable with the new system. If you have any items to return please do so via the after hours books chutes at all our branches. The other thing that we would like to mention is that we would love all our library members to bring their cards with them to borrow items, this will certainly help us with using the new system. If you think you have lost your card we are happy to replace it for a small fee.

Our online catalogue is called ibistro - this will also have a new look and added features. The catalogue will be linked from our current website www.campaspe.vic.gov.au/library .
Anyway, all the staff are really looking forward to becoming one of 14 library services across the state that are working in the same system - sharing our skills, knowledge and resources - way to go!
