Major developments

  • October-December: training OPAC, catalog, acquisition, serials

  • Data conversion

    Our experimental catalog contains cca 80.000 records, i.e. part of records of books since 1978 to 1990, some of them with holding information and complete records since 1991. We still use DataFlex and add new records to Aleph OPAC catalog once a month.

    Data base of historical books contains cca 15.000 records of books published 1718-1913. Not complete, not accessible.

Plans and problems

• to continue with retro conversion (in DataFlex)
• to catalog historical books in Aleph
• to start acquisition and catalog of books in Aleph
• to solve using our polythematic controlled vocabulary in Aleph
• not enough people
