Library (407 William Floyd Parkway Shirley NY 11967)
Please join CATS and SSD while we take a deep dive into our new county
catalog, Vega Discover! As the deadline approaches to comply with the
updated Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, we will no longer be able to
maintain the classic catalog on our websites or in-house OPACs. This
session is designed to help staff become more comfortable using Vega so
they can confidently support patrons through this transition.
