May 20. Innovative Interfaces will install a Millennium library automation system in the library of the University of Navarra in Pamplona, Spain. The university's new system will include the full suite of features including the Web OPAC, Cataloging, Circulation, Acquisitions, Serials, Z39.50, and Inter-Library Loan modules.

"Our decision to choose Millennium was a natural response to the needs of a growing university that is in constant evolution, and which needs to increase the quality of services that it offers for teaching and research," said University of Navarra Library Director José María Torres. "Our goal was to develop a library that responds to the needs of today and can meet the challenges of the future head on. We know that Millennium will be an integral part of our success."

"The partnership between Innovative and Navarra shows just how well-suited Millennium is for Spanish-language libraries," said Mark Carden, general manager of Innovative in Europe. "Innovative's commitment to internationalization has led to outstanding partnerships with a wide variety of institutions all over the world, and the ability of Innovativeto be responsive to what libraries want and need has proven to be a major advantage for libraries that choose Millennium."

"Millennium will provide our university with a full and robust functionality and an extremely high degree of sophistication, particularly in providing users with Web access," Sr. Torres added. "Millennium's reliance on non-proprietary graphical clients such as Netscape and Internet Explorer and its open-platform client-server architecture will provide Navarra with next-century library automation solutions today."

Founded in 1952 under the aegis of the Opus Dei, a Roman Catholic Church Prelature, the University of Navarra, a private university, will go live with its new Millennium system later this year, replacing its current Dobis system. Navarra's selection of Millennium accompanies the inauguration of a new library, designed by the noted Spanish architect Javier Carvajal and capable of housing more than three million volumes.
