Next Wednesday, 11th June, we are having an afternoon session to look at some of the developments happening with Horizon and the Catalogue. Janette Chin and Mala Singapuri will present a mini-roadshow in Level 3 of the Central Library.

From 12.30 to 3.30 will be open to all – check with your managers as usual. We may have staff from other institutions.

12.30-1.00pm setup and introductions
1.00-2.00pm SirsiDynix Roadmap with a little on Discovery
2.00-3.00pm Bluecloud staff modules
3.00-3.30pm Afternoon tea
3.30-5.00pm Discussion with managers and e-services

We hope to see demonstrations of some of the new interfaces which SirsiDynix call ‘Bluecloud’. In the longer term these will be available for all core Horizon modules, with the Cataloging module the closest to release. In the plans is a new catalogue interface as well.

One of the nice things about the new modules, when they become available, is that we can use them interchangeably with our existing client modules – good for testing and deciding how we like them.

Regards, Peter
