Access to information in the Insignia Library System over the web is instantaneous; as soon information is saved patrons can access it over the web. The Web OPAC version is now viewable at the bottom of the Web screen

To provide www access to the Insignia Library System in your organization, Microsoft Internet Information Server 5.0 is required. Once Microsoft Internet Information Server is installed, it takes less than two minutes to have the Insignia Library System available over the Internet.

Before providing Internet access, it is important that patron security is enabled with unique passwords for each patron. Otherwise you may inadvertently allow unauthorized users access to a patron’s confidential information. Other features of the Insignia Web OPAC include:

Search history – choose a previous search from the dropdown list to eliminate the need to re-enter a search. Boolean searching – use the Boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT for more precise searching.

Use the on-line help, available on the first page of each search, to assist you.
