Ex Libris has announced the general release of Aleph 500 version 19.01 software.  Initial documentation is being generated for the release, starting with the "Aleph v19 Feature List", which was posted recently on this PALNI web site.  PALNI staff have had an initial conference call with Ex Libris staff in Israel and the U.S. concerning the upgrade.  

Please watch for an upcoming article describing the 2008 (v.19) hardware and software requirements for staff and public PCs.  It will be posted this week.  "Release Notes" for the various modules, which always precedes actual user documentation, will be posted as soon as possible.  As other relevant documentation becomes available, we'll let you know.
