About Chinook

Chinook

Chinook, the University Libraries integrated library system, was installed in December 1994. Chinook is powered by Innovative Interfaces, Inc. software.

*Chinook Online Manual

This is the current reference guide and documentation for Innovative's software products. It is updated with each new release of software that is installed on the Chinook server. This user manual contains information about Millennium products as well as the character-based system. You must be authorized to use the manual. Upon arriving at the manual site, you will be prompted for your initials and password. Contact John Culshaw if you cannot access the manual.

*Chinook Web Management Reports

The Web Management Reports are graphical management reports. These reports analyze transaction-based information on Chinook and are compiled by the Millennium system automatically.
