Major Developments since last ICAU-meeting:

  • Change to a "new" SUN UltraSPARC server.
  • Replacement of 30 "oldfashioned" terminals, to more uptodate PC'

Major Developments planned:

  • Gradually change of old "terminals" to PC'.
  • Change to ALEPH 500 in 1998/99. (if it turns out to be THE future librarysystem!!)

Open Problems:

  • Ex Libris doesn't seem to fulfil theire promise of maintaining ALEPH 300 until year 2000. There are still a number of bugs and requests connected to ALEPH 300, that should be given a much higher priority.
  • We are still looking/waiting for significant proofs that ALEPH 500 is THE comming client/server librarysystem for a danish public and school-library.
