Kudos to the staffs of Brockport, Empire, Mohawk Valley, Niagara, North Country and SUNYIT. They've implemented the SUNYConnect LMS (ALEPH500 v.16). This, then makes 60 SUNYConnect institutions that are running the software. We're about as close as we are going to get to a long-term goal -- all SUNYConnect libraries using the same library management system. (The last big step is University at Buffalo's "STP" scheduled for this summer.)

The OLIS' Maureen Zajkowski took on a massive project management task in coordinating all of this with dozens of campuses, Ex Libris, ITEC, OLIS, etc., etc. She deserves our thanks. Likewise, Maggie Horn, Karen Gardner-Athey and Laura Murray have been there from the beginning to the end. Many a training session, lots of test databases, web OPACs for everybody and a nearly uncountable number of phone calls are all now "water under the bridge."

But, mostly credit goes to all of you serving various roles in your libraries and college staffs. You are making ALEPH work, sharing tips and more with colleagues all over the system, creating this ever-growing community. You are SUNYConnect.
