Sunday, December 19, was the first Heppner High School
Outdoor Club winter trip. Advisor Dave Fowler along with
Steve Brownfield took nine Heppner students to Anthony
Lakes Ski Area. The snow conditions were excellent for ski
ing and snowboarding. After several great morning runs the
chair lift broke down, stranding all the riders including five
Heppner students. The ski patrol sprang into action dividing
into three teams and using special apparatuses to lower skiers
one at a time from the chairs. The Outdoor Club currently has
21 members with future ski trips planned for January and
February. -Contributed Photo

Effective Decem
ber 29, 2010, the Oregon
Trail Library District will
be changing the computer
software used to operate the
library catalog, check out
books and other library ma
terials, and interface with
the library databases.
The change to the
new integrated library sys
tem (ILS), Evergreen, is
bein g m ade for several
im portant reasons. C ost
reduction is one o f the most
significant reasons the sys
tem is changing. A long
with lower costs the new
Evergreen system will, in
time, be a system that will
be more versatile and easier
for our patrons to use.
Along with a brand
new look, there w ill be
new terminology to learn
and som e new w ays to
handle self-service items
such as searching for books,
placing holds and ordering
inter-library loans, renew
ing books online. Library
users will see some helpful
changes with the new cata
log such as spell-checking
o f search terms with sug
g ested a lte rn a tes, m uch
like G oogle’s suggestions
when you misspell a word.
Evergreen features faceted
browsing by subjects, au
thors, and series to find
related books easily from
the title you’re currently
viewing. Patrons will also
be able to see which books
are ch eck ed out, renew
books and place holds, and
create “bookbags,” which
are reading lists that can be
shared with others.
Some things will be
different with the new soft
ware. The biggest change
will be to the PIN numbers
library patrons use to ac
cess their library account
online and o ther online
services such as download
able audio books. All PIN
numbers will be reset on
the new software. Because
o f this, the first time you
log in to your library ac
count on'the new system,
your username will be your
library barcode and your
password will be your last
name. After logging in, you
will be prompted to reset
your password to whatever
you desire. A dditionally,
som e library users have
turned on the reading his
tory on their online account
to keep track o f books they
have read. Because a PIN
num ber protects reading
history it will not transfer
to the new system. Library
users who currently use
that feature are encouraged
to print their history before
December 29th.
A b ro c h u re e x
plaining how to use the
new system is available at
your local library.
The Oregon Trail
Library District is a mem
ber of the Sage consortium,
m ade up o f 66 m em ber
lib ra ries across E astern
Oregon who share the same
com puter softw are. This
software provides the online
catalog of library materials
and is used to check items
in and out to library users.
The current software is pro
vided to Sage by a private
for-profit corporation. The
new software will be based
on an open-source product
o riginally developed by
G eorgia libraries. Under
the o p en -so u rce m odel,
any improvements made to
the software must be freely
shared with everyone who
uses the software.
The transition to the
new software is funded by
Library Services and Tech
nology Act Funds which
are supported in whole or
part by the Institute o f Mu
seum and Library Services
through the Library Ser
vices and Technology Act,
administered by the Oregon
State Library.
