Technical Updates
This upcoming summer we will be applying a patch to SirsiDynix Symphony/WorkFlows, which will be necessary to address the OCLC Numbering change that OCLC is putting into effect July 1. The patch will require updating WorkFlows on yourr machines
The next MAJOR release of SirsiDynix Symphony will include a web-based client that promises to be more fully-featured than the StaffWeb client. We do NOT have any timeframe yet for when it will be released or when it will be adopted by INFOhio.

INFOhio Governing Board is requiring all school districts establish their own INFOhio username and password for the 2013-2014 school year Well over 300 school systems already have Why?
–
Allow INFOhio to identify with which school system a user is associated and display appropriate content
–
Easier for students and teachers to remember, especially if school system has other resources
–
Gather statistics regarding how much each school system account is utilized on the INFOhio Web Site How to request username and password:
