Major Developments since last ICAU-meeting:

New Aleph patch installed; Aleph was transferred to a new server machine. The readers database was completed in the Cicurlation module and we started registration of loans and retutns in Aleph in one of our libraries. We have upgraded some of the workstations and they now number about 100. Start of retrospective conversion in all our three libraries.

Major Developments planned:

Buy additional Aleph licences, start Aleph WWW server, start to use circulation in remaining two libraries of MZK.

Open Problems:

Processing of the analytical description of the articles in UNIMARC (bibliografic formats and acces files).
