HORIZON online catalog

[Don McCoy <dmccoy@CSN.NET>]

Dear Netters:  Our District's four highschool media centers are having our
on-line catalog upgraded from DYNIX to HORIZON by Ameritech of Provo, Utah.
Our situation is unique as we have an Alliance with our local university.
Really we are considered branches of the University Library.  They are the
ones who decided to go to the new system.  We have just completed an
inservice training last week on the new Horizon.  I would like to know if
anyone  in Cyberspace is using the Horizon on-line catalog system.By
switching we will have to re-train our students and staff.  They have been
using DYNIX for  five years and became very comfortable with it.  If you had
this experience how did
introduce it to your patrons?  Did you prepare a brochure?  What are the
problems that you may have incurred with using HORIZON?   I would appreciate
any advice
or help you may have.TIA.
