Committee News
The Cataloging Committee will meet on March 2, 2017 at 10am at Plainfield Guilford Township Public Library. All interested staff are invited to attend.
Maintenance: New Shortnames
Just a reminder that we will be updating everyone to the new shortnames on February 28, 2017. Since these were approved over a year ago, you may wish to review the list and remind yourself of your new shortname. We are hopeful these new names will significantly alleviate name confusion transit issues in future.
