Millennium: A New Integrated Library System at the Central European Uníversity Library

Abstract

Since 1999, the Central European University Library had been looking for a second generation integrated library system that would be more than a common database, that would be able to do more than just computerise manuál or paper-based routines, and would enable library users to reach beyond the local information and knowledge base. After thorough searching and an invitation to tender, the Central European University Library purchased the Millennium integrated library system from Innovative Interfaces Inc. and started to use it in 2002. Millennium is a Web- and Java-based automated library system, and working with it is a unique experience in Hungary. The study is about Millennium and its adaptation to the needs of the Central European University Library.
