New system improves service at Hiebert Library

Visitors to Hiebert Library, whether in person or online, benefit from a new integrated management system.

Cataloging, acquisitions, checkout, inventory and reference services are all improved. “This is the software that manages all the tasks a library does, said Kevin Enns-Rempel, interim director.

“Libraries today are a combination of physical items we have in the building and electronic items we subscribe to. We have never had a way to integrate all those,” Enns-Rempel said. “A lot of people didn’t know what we have because they didn’t know how to find it.”

Hiebert Library

The library was originally completed in 1962 and enlarged in 1973 and 1980. The building is named for Cornelius Hiebert (1894-1965), the owner of a furniture manufacturing company in Los Angeles and later Fresno. Hiebert provided funding for the building and supervised its construction. His company manufactured many of the original furnishings, some of which are still in use.
