Quick Facts About DCCCD's Innopac, the automated library system. 

The acquisition of the Innovative Interfaces, Inc. system (Innopac) to replace a NOTIS automated library system was approved by the DCCCD Board in December 1996, with an agreement signed in January 1997. Conversion of the database was completed by March, with District-wide training begun in April. Cataloging began in June, and the entire system was made available just before the beginning of the Fall semester in August 1997. The system is currently running under Release 2007.
