Public Library Directors and Friends,

Just wanted to be sure you were aware that the debut of the new GALILEO
User Interfaces (including the one exclusively designed for public
library users) has been delayed until March. Some unanticipated
technical problems surfaced during the move from beta to production
which forced the change in schedule. Merryll Penson from GALILEO has
provided an explanation below. My thanks to all of you who contributed
comments and suggestions during the beta stage and encourage all of you
to hang in there just a little longer. I'm confident the debut in March
will be worth the wait!

All good things! -- Toni Z.

Subject: Update On New GALILEO User Views

Dear GALILEO Users,

We had hoped that the release of four new interfaces for each of our
GALILEO user communities would occur at the transition between Fall and
Winter school calendars in order to have the lowest possible impact on
users, given the year-round services libraries provide, and had been
aiming for the week of December 17th. When that didn't happen, we had
hoped with some intense work over the holidays we would still be able to
make that transition in early January. However, due to some challenges
discovered as we prepared to move from beta into production, the new
interfaces will not be ready until March. A fifth interface intended to
replace the Kid's interface now in production is being revisited based
on feedback from usability and K12 stakeholders; the current Kid's
interface will continue to be in use through March.

Thank you for providing help and assistance with this release and the
many positive comments you have shared - I know that a delay is not what
any of us were expecting, but we hope that we will have a better product
that will serve your users well in the early Spring. Please let me know
if you have specific questions about this. We appreciate your
understanding and patience.

Merryll
