07 Jul 06 KMS – Background

During February the staff implementation team received additional training in the use and specification development for the new ALA Knowledge Management System, developed by SydneyPlus International. The initial phases of implementation include replacement of the current ALA in-house Intranet with an Information Portal and replacement of the current library OPAC. The new library OPAC is now operational and the Information Portal is scheduled to launch during National Library Week April 2-8. New features will include keyword-searchable access to human resources policies and forms, searchable access to links to electronic resources, and a number of other specialized files. Irene Marquez, ITTS, Karen Muller, Library, and Sherri Vanyek, ITTS, are the project managers.
