INFOhio's new OPAC:
Looking for a home!
INFOhio is using the 2007-2008 school year to continuing development of
a new online public access catalog (OPAC) for older users. Code-named
New CAT, the OPAC is for all INFOhio automated
schools. New CAT is hunting for library materials in
almost all Ohio
Information Technology Centers (ITCs) and can be used instead of the
current CAT interface; CAT Jr. is not affected.INFOhio hopes to have
broad-based use of New CAT by students, parents and
educators. A feedback site is monitored for comments and suggestions for
improvements. After hearing from the INFOhio community, New CAT
is tentatively scheduled to replace the current CAT for the 2008-2009 school year.
Check out New CAT and let us know what you think!

Fall Update PowerPoint posted to Web site
Using
INFOhio to Impact Student Learning,
INFOhio's in-service overview for 2007-2008, has been added to
the
Slide
Library section of the
INFOhio Toolkit.
This 60-slide PowerPoint presentation works as a tutorial for
library staff to keep current. Use the slides' Notes to find
talking points and details that supplement the slides. Many slides have
hotspots that make live demonstrations convenient. Changes are listed in
the notes to Slide 1. Also, check the
