CODI Conference 2007

Sorry this took so long to get posted--
Papers and a digital library prototype took precedence, but are now (finally) turned in and awaiting grades.

By now, you've probably heard the general news about upgrades, pricing, release dates, etc.

600 attendees at CODI 2007, representing 340 institutions.

At the opening session, they stated SirsiDynix is committed to the Horizon platform for 4-6 years and stated that when the time is right to consider Horizon end of life, 24 months notice will be given to users.

Building Community

I didn't have warm fuzzy feelings about Sirsi customers when Sirsi & Dynix merged. With us using different products, they weren't quite part of our Dynix 'group.'

After reading my email today, I suddenly feel such a sense of community now! Sirsi Unicorn users, Dynix Horizon users... now we're all in the same boat!

I immediately thought of Luca at BCCLS, (they're on Unicorn, and when the best features from the previous products merge, contacts who know the other system will be valuable.)

Press Release here.

Now remember everybody, if the new product release doesn't come out as soon as anticipated...
