With the support
of member libraries, Winnefox Library System operates WALS, the Winnefox
Automated Library Services shared computer system. Housed at the Oshkosh
Public Library, WALS hosts web sites and blogs for libraries,
and operates the shared online
catalog,
circulation, and acquisitions. All 30 Winnefox libraries
use WALS.

"Nearly 1 million items are available among Winnefox member
libraries." |
Interlibrary Loan
Last year, over 111,500 requested items were successfully provided to
patrons by other Winnefox member libraries through the Interlibrary Loan
system. No library could afford all of the print and electronic resources
required by its patrons and with interlibrary loan, nearly 1 million items
are available among Winnefox member libraries.
Central Support
and Responsibility
WALS staff offers the latest in technology and technical assistance to
member libraries. From ordering personal computers to designing a layout
configuration, experienced staff is available to assist member libraries
with all of their hardware and software needs. WALS also purchases hardware
and supplies cooperatively to get the best possible prices.
