Library Tech Resources

Hardware in the library/media center consists of:

• administrative and online catalog (OPAC) computers and

• administrative and OPAC printers.

Barcode scanners are also required. Administrative computers are used by library/media staff for cataloging, circulation, reports, inventory, and other administrative purposes while OPAC computers are used by students and teachers.

For administrative (library staff) workstations, Connect supports Windows installations of Sirsi Workflows; however, Macintosh installations are also available.

*Please visit link to the left for software installation and instructions for both PC and MAC*

Printer requirements: The administrative printer must be a laser (not inkjet) printer and can be connected directly to the PC or a part of the local building/district network. 

In order to utilize INFOhio library automation software and access websites, please ensure that the following ports are open through any firewall. Inbound access can be limited to IP addresses as specified in the documentation entitled Ports Table.
