Abstract

The article focuses on the deficiency of the libraries to offer a rich online information environment to the library users. It relates that the rich online world created by the library is not available to the user at convenient locations within the library and they have not provided the useful integration between the online and on-shelf resources. It adds that the library does not have the technology to create the full integration of the user's workplace, the electronic resources of the library and the physical library. Moreover, it discusses the two trends that enables the library to create the integration including the evolution toward omnipresent network access and toward hand-held network and computing devices.

4. How to Create Guest Users in Horizon 8.0.

Abstract

This article explains how to create guest users in Horizon 8.0. Horizon 8.0 will have the functionality to allow librarians to issue anonymous, cash-based cards to patrons. Libraries can have a number of different types of guest users, depending on whether the guests want to be completely anonymous or whether they just need temporary privileges. To set up guest users, first, edit the library's location record to permit guest users. Next, create a new loan type for guest users. Then, if librarians want overall statistics about anonymous use, they can create a new user statistical class and link it to the loan type. Using item types and the loan type, librarians can now assign privileges. They will need to determine whether to require a deposit and what other limits may apply. Librarians can now start issuing and using guest cards at their library.
