Two Computer Classes at Livingston Manor Library
For those who currently use a home computer to place holds on items in the library catalog and for those who would like to start, join us on Tuesday, December 13 at 3:00 p.m. to learn about the features available to you in the new Enterprise Library Catalog. Learn how easy it is to select and order your own library books! The Enterprise Catalog goes online December 8 and can be found by clicking on “catalog” on the library website, www.rcls.org/liv.
In addition, a basic computer class for beginners who are interested in email and using the Internet will be offered at the library on Tuesday, December 13 at 1:00 pm. Participants may choose to stay for the catalog class, as well.

New Library Catalog System
Important Information about our Computerized Library Catalog
The software utilized by our library catalog and circulation system is scheduled to be replaced during the week of December 5th. The Livingston Manor Library participates in a shared computer system used by the 46 member libraries of the Ramapo Catskill Library System. Since 2005 the library has used a system called Horizon, which is no longer being developed. Therefore, the RCLS libraries will be migrating to the Symphony software system. Both systems are made by SirsiDynix. The new system has advantages over the old one and you will find that we will be more specific and efficient in placing requests on items from other libraries; however, we will require your patience as we get used to it.
From Dec. 5 to Dec. 8, 2011, the library catalog will not display accurate circulation data, nor will it allow hold requests to be placed. During those days, all current checkouts, fines and existing hold requests will be transferred to the new system. Lists that patrons have created themselves in the catalog will also be moved.
The new library catalog will have a different look and feel, and will offer additional searching capabilities. We think you will be quite pleased with the improvements both in the library and when you search for items from home with Symphony.
For more information call 439-5440.
