Session P1 on Wednesday 3:00-4:00 in Union Square 23
Description:For many libraries, the move from Telnet or character-based INNOPAC to Millennium has not been as smooth as it could be. Even with staff training, many staff members will often continue to use Telnet as a matter of habit or rote instead of moving to the new graphical interface. Staff often cite speed, built in macros, training, and other reasons why they hesitate to embrace Millennium. In turn, many of the enhancements, features, and the cross-module functionality in Millennium go unused. The presenters will offer tips, tricks, anecdotes and other ideas specifically geared to help move staff move to Millennium.
