Technical Updates
 This upcoming summer we will be applying a patch
to SirsiDynix Symphony/WorkFlows, which will be
necessary to address the OCLC Numbering change
that OCLC is putting into effect July 1. The patch will
require updating WorkFlows on yourr machines
 The next MAJOR release of SirsiDynix Symphony will
include a web-based client that promises to be more
fully-featured than the StaffWeb client. We do NOT
have any timeframe yet for when it will be released
or when it will be adopted by INFOhio.

District Username and Password
• INFOhio Governing Board is requiring all school districts
establish their own INFOhio username and password for the
2013-2014 school year
• Well over 300 school systems already have
• Why?
– Allow INFOhio to identify with which school system a user is
associated and display appropriate content
– Easier for students and teachers to remember, especially if
school system has other resources
– Gather statistics regarding how much each school system
account is utilized on the INFOhio Web Site
• How to request username and password:
