Chapter 2 Setting up your site

In this chapter, you'll do the following setup tasks: identify your library; identify

your country and the first month in your statistical year; set up your barcode

symbologies; protect your Follett applications with passwords; transfer the PHD

application to your PHD, if you have one; and maintain events for OPAC.

Identifying your library

System Setup allows you to store the most relevant information about your site,

such as your site's name and MARC Organization Code, in a place that's

accessible to all Follett applications.

Note:

For nonĆUS sites, complete the tasks in the next section, Identifying your

country and first month of statistical year," before identifying your library.

default password for Site Setup is MAKEITSO. Type the password and
