Hi Hope this is of interest. Warm regards Catherine DS, one of the leading suppliers of information management solutions to UK public libraries, today announced that more than 50% of its customer base has already selected to upgrade to OpenGalaxy 3; the latest version of its library management solution. Newcastle City Council, Surrey County Council and Lincolnshire County Council are among the customers who have completed their upgrade and further upgrades are scheduled for autumn 2007. OpenGalaxy delivers customers a significant upgrade in functionality, usability and operational flexibility. The product also provides customers with a platform on which they can develop exciting new services using enhanced OPAC services, integration with other local authority services, new interfaces including PDA handheld devices, integrated RFID functionality and SmartCard technology. The link to the Amazon site, one of several new features, means customers can offer a wider range of lifestyle opportunities which users are accustomed to finding on other websites. For staff the greatest benefits will come from the implementation of electronic invoicing which will have a huge impact on Library Support Services processes and will result in new stock reaching library shelves quicker. www.ds.co.uk
