Innovative Interfaces announced today that Chatham-Kent Public Library (CKPL) in Ontario, Canada has selected the Sierra Services Platform, the Encore discovery solution, and the Decision Center collection management tool for a complete library solution. They are migrating from a Horizon system provided by SirsiDynix.
"Chatham-Kent Public Library (CKPL) is looking forward to being able to offer a better interaction with our catalog for our patrons," says Kathryn Goodhue, CEO and Chief Librarian.

"In one of my recent announcements on our growth strategy I highlighted Innovative's continued expansion into key markets like Canada. This public library partnership represents Innovative's commitment to our global markets and the popularity of our software, such as Sierra, in Canada as more libraries are looking to make the move to an open platform," says Christopher Le Blanc, Senior Vice President of Global Sales.
