What does Rls 2005 mean for my library?
• Non-Millennium, full character based systems will see no change, but will not be able to store or use the new invoice records
• Full Millennium systems with truncated main menus will see no change and will get the new records immediately
• Libraries using both Millennium and the character based functions, will see a change to the main menu screens that will remove the“Ordering and Receiving Subsystem” line
Important points for libraries to know
1. The change is not optional, and is not initiated by the library. It will happen as a result of the upgrade to the new release and be effective immediately after the upgrade
2. The structure of the stored invoice data has changed in a way that is similar to the checkin/holdings record changes of several years ago
3. The new invoice record will be a large help to libraries using multiple currencies, since the conversion rate and original invoice amount will be stored and retrievable
