NMSU Library Newsletter
Library to Launch Voyager System
by Gwen Gregory, Interim Associate Dean, ggregory@lib.nmsu.edu
In Spring Semester 2000, the NMSU Library will install Voyager, a new integrated library computer system pro-duced
by Endeavor Information Systems, Inc. Many large libraries in the United States, including such institutions
as the Library of Congress, the University of Pennsylvania, and Kansas State University, use the Voyager system,
and the NMSU Library is the 500th library to purchase the system. The Library is the first site in New Mexico to use
Voyager. Because it is an integrated system, Voyager will replace two existing computer systems: VTLS, which
runs the OLE online catalog and circulation subsystems, and Innopac, which is used for periodicals check-in
and accounting management.
A task force of eleven Library staff members representing all Library departments is coordinating Voyager
installation. Librarians from the Alamogordo and Dona Ana branches are participating, since these institutions
share the Library’s online catalog. Task force members attended an intensive four-day training session at the
New Library on November 8 - 11, and will conduct detailed training for the rest of the library staff in November,
December, and January. This group is also coordinating extractions and migration
