The Georgia Tech Library & Information Center is undergoing a comprehensive software transition in conjunction with a mandated University System-wide effort to place all 35 university and college libraries on the same computer system. The upgrade, to take place from late November through January 2001, will not interrupt service to students and faculty, and adjustments are being made to minimize any temporary inconvenience.While the new system is being customized, the Georgia Tech Library will not levy standard overdue fines, beginning Monday, November 27. Students will remain responsible for existing fines of $10 or more. When the system becomes operational in late January, Tech students will once again be responsible for accrued fines. Students, faculty and staff are urged to return all books on or before the due date.
An immediate benefit of the upgrade is that Georgia Tech users will be able to renew books online. Some time in 2001, users will be provided a streamlined system for identifying and ordering books held among the University System institutions.
