The IU Libraries will not implement the 2000 version of Unicorn and instead plan to implement Unicorn 2001 at Thanksgiving. Beginning with Unicorn 2000, all indexing is done in real time (new records added to the database are immediately available in IUCAT, etc.). This process is much improved in Unicorn 2001, making it desirable to postpone the upgrade for a few months. This and other issues that influenced this decision are explained in this week's issue of the Unicorn Update http://www.indiana.edu/~sirsi/update.
To minimize the disruption to IU students, faculty, and staff, the Libraries will be taking advantage of the August time slot previously reserved for the upgrade to make some interface improvements and perform complete keyword re-indexing. Every effort is being made to minimize the impact of the 2001 upgrade on users.
