Home Page : http://www.md.huji.ac.il/library
Opened GUI (OPAC) - problems of display -
waiting for the improvements inherent in 3.2.6
(Aug’97)
Major Developments planned:
- WWW interface
- GUI interface for public use
- Increase in number of PC terminals for
staff
Open Problems:
- slow support response
- link doesn’t work with unusual
volume numbers (which are accepted in
SER/IS)
Of Interest:
We have decided to have regular meetings of
senior level Aleph Systems Managers within the
University for hands-on discussion and workshops
- networking - knowledge sharing. This is besides
the country-wide (Node level) Systems Managers
meetings, and intra-University Library
Representatives’ meetings. They will be more
"hands-on" than discussion.
