COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — The Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD) will begin upgrading its library systems starting next week. The upgrade will provide online PPLD users with new features, which include the following:
- saved reading history
- recommendations based on reading history
- having library material grouped during searches
These upgrades will see the current online system go offline.
People who use the library can still go to the PPLD branches and use all their services; however, patrons will not be able to put holds on library items, and the online catalog on the website will not be available to use.
"Everything people do pretty much online, as far as library and e-resources or looking at databases, or if they want to come in and use a computer or print, all of those things are still going to be available, all of our normal programs and everything else," said Jenny Pierce, Director of Collections Management at PPLD.
The new library system will go online on December 12.
PPLD will extend return deadlines to that day for any checked-out material.
