Drupal - the way to go

Here' s an interesting article about libraries using Drupal for their catalogs and mentions SOPAC as a popular option, which is what SAILS is going with.
Drupal Done Right - from this month's Library Journal

Logo Winner Chosen

As you can see by the results on the right, logo #3 won by a very strong majority. Thanks to all who voted.

Logo Selection Time

We've been working hard with Craftyspace, a company that creates Drupal sites for libraries and also configures SOPAC installations. They are also working with us to create a new logo for SAILS. The newest logos are pictured on the right. Please take a few minutes to look them over and feel free to answer the survey "Which logo do you like the best?"

Product Selected

Based on feedback from the extensive focus groups and our surveys, SAILS has chosen the SOPAC product. More information may be found at thesocialopac.net site.

Exciting News out of Canada

This is an article from Library Journal about BiblioCommons, one of the products that looks very interesting.

Request - view the month of a magazine on hold

Question/Comment: I usually put magazines on hold, but if I put several months of the same magazine on hold (exp. Jan, Feb, March), I'm not able to tell which months I've requested when I go under the 'review my account' feature. Is there a way to have each month listed along with the title in case I decide to cancel a month I might have acquired somewhere else?

Response: To see the month of the magazine you put on hold, we'd need to somehow get the call number to display on the holds list. I'm going to check to see if this is in the next release for iBistro, which is at the end of the summer. They made a number of changes to the interface and usability. I'm assuming it's too late to request new features, but I'll pass this along anyway.
