Huntsville, Alabama - Sirsi is pleased to announce that its Unicorn Collection Management System will be installed at Bethany College's Phillips Memorial Library, located in Bethany, West Virginia.
Unicorn will be installed on an IBM RISC System/6000 Model 250 host computer. The library has licensed the academic reserves, authority control, bibliographic and inventory control, circulation, enhanced public access, and serials control modules.
Dr. Tony Krug, Library Director, said, "The primary reason for choosing Unicorn is the upcoming Macintosh Graphical User Interface (GUI). Bethany is a complete Mac campus, and we feel Unicorn will work the best within our Mac environment. The modules are well integrated and complete, and Unicorn's straight C base makes it a cleaner, more efficient system."
