Westchester Library System (WLS), a system of 38 New York public libraries, recently signed an agreement with UTLAS Inc., in Toronto for comprehensive on-line cataloging services. This agreement follows a six-month period during which WLS used UTLAS on an experimental basis.
"As a cooperative system, WLS must frequently revisit its catalogue records. A particularly attractive feature of the UTLAS system for us is the ability to access our own catalogue records and update individual member library holdings online," stated Dr. Maurice ("Mitch") Freedman, WLS Director. Dr. Freedman also pointed out that UTLAS' authority control system making it possible for WLS to introduce new subject headings and change outdated ones.
