In anticipation of flat or falling income in the FY10 budget, we are moving toward implementing TLC's LS2 PAC product. This new pac will expand the patron's ability to tag and find library resources as well as add their own reviews and comments. It also allows us to incorporate our EbscoHost periodical subscription into the search (in a non-overwhelming way) so that users can find both books and magazine articles with a single search.
We will continue to highlight our catalog and collections by featuring the search box in the center of our web home page. The upgrade will give us an opportunity to examine, review, and make enhancements to our home web page.
We are coordinating implementation and training with the goal of going live with the new public catalog in early summer 2009. Funding for this upgrade comes from a grant , which must be sent on technology and services rather than staffing or operations.
