Innovative Interfaces has installed its Web- and Java-based Millennium automated library system client software on the Beta release of Mac OS X, a new operating system that fully supports Java. Millennium has been operating on an iMac in Innovative's office and will soon be operating at several customers' sites in Beta version. General release for Mac OS X is expected in early 2001.
Innovative's Millennium clients also run on the Windows and Linux operating systems. The multiplatform options for clients are available because Millennium was developed in Java, rather than Windows.
Innovative Interfaces' integration of netLibrary eBooks is now available at no cost to libraries using its automated library system. Innovative has developed features that enable users to access collections of netLibrary eBooks directly. Full MARC records are downloaded into the library's catalog so full-text access to eBooks requires only clicking on an icon. The netLibrary record loading process is fully integrated into the acquisitions module's EDI system. Additional features provide for search limiting, previews, and check-out.
