PRC registrations go through the roof!
Not sure if this is because of the anticipated prize of an iPad.....but either way, we are up to 83 students who have entered the challenge so far. This is the best result I have seen since I have been at Seaford 6-12, and I hope this number keeps growing and that these students follow through and complete the challenge.

Delays in cataloguing to occur
Hi All,
With the implementation of our new Library Management System coming up soon, there will be some significant delays in the processing of new materials. This means, that for 3 weeks before the system is installed, all of the data will be getting transferred from the old system to the new system, which means that there can be no cataloguing done during this period. In addition to this, it will be a completely new system and therefore library staff will need to concentrate on being trained in its use. This means that it could be another 3 weeks until cataloguing can start again.
So, effectively, there is likely to be a 6 week window where no cataloguing occurs, between mid April and the end of May.
If you are planning on making any purchases that you would like to go in the library collection, please ensure that you have given it to us before the end of Term 1 if you would like access to it at the start of Term 2. Otherwise, you will need to wait until about Week 7 of Term 2 before it can be catalogued.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
