eiNetwork III TrainingMillennium Window Layout

Logins and Initials

Millennium requires a login and password and a set of initials and a password. The login defines which program will be loaded - cataloging or circulation. The initials define which functions the user is permitted to perform (i.e. override fines, delete patrons, etc.). Each library will have a unique set of logins and initials. After you have logged on and entered your initials, the Millennium Circulation Window will open on your computer.
