Joint Automation Project

What is the Joint Automation Project?

The Joint Automation Project provides member libraries of MVLS and SALS with access to an integrated automated library system.  The JA staff assists member libraries with technical support, training and resources, utilizing current and emerging technologies.

The project is governed by a Joint Automation Council, established to initiate policies and decisions regarding library automation services to the member libraries, recommend policy, and advise the two System Boards on issues related to the provision of library automation services, including funding.

For information on your representatives of the JA Council and meeting dates, connect to the JA Intranet.  The Intranet is accessible on the web by going to http://japroject.sals.edu. You will need to log in with your full SALS email address and the corresponding password.

How Do I Get Training on the Automated System?
SALS, in cooperation with the JA Staff provides training.  Contact Jill Ryder, jryder@sals.edu to set up a training session.  We offer this service year round for new staff and for refresher training.

How Do I Get Computer Support and Help Purchasing New Computers?
The JA Council oversees and administers the automation project used by 58 libraries in eight counties. Therefore, public and staff computer workstations connected to the JA networks, network equipment, and software and hardware in each library building must meet certain standards for the security and privacy of all patron records and to keep the networks running efficiently and effectively.
Please see the Workstation Purchase and Support Policy that follows.
JA will do group (bulk) ordering of PCs three times annually according to the following schedule:

When What
1st of February, June, and October:  Order and pricing is announced
During February June and October  Libraries return orders
1st of March, July, and November  Order deadline, the order is placed
Mid to end April, August, and December  PCs are delivered
