ABCD. I remember the first time you showed me ABCD, in that hotel room in Central Hotel in Jimma, Ethiopia (2008?). We both concluded that ABCD was superior to what we were using at that time and that we should use it in the VLIR-UOS projects. Since then ABCD
was installed in many libraries in Africa, Latin America, Asia (and a few in Europe), mostly with support and training from you. For some of them it was their first online catalogue and loan system, for others it was a better tool than the one they had before.
I hope the new OPAC will give a new boost to the existing installations and will encourage other libraries to start with ABCD.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Exactly 10 years ago the ABCD software was presented to the world in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in an event organized by Bireme. So we have something to celebrate !

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">As a small (well, not so small in fact) birthday gift to the ABCD community, we are proud to announce the upcoming availability of a completely new OPAC-module by G. Ascencio for
the now 10-year old ABCD.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Since ABCD is a ‘suite’ of relatively independent but collaborating modules (Central, Site, iAH, Secs-Web, EmpWeb), this new module can be added with or without removing the iAH-OPAC.
IAH is somewhat different in having been completely scripted in IsisScript, which makes it rather difficult to manipulate : the support for IsisScript has been absent since some years due to BIREME, the original institutional author also of iAH, no longer
working on it and the documentation being quite scarce.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">The new OPAC however is completely developed in PHP (as are the other modules except EmpWeb), making it more practical to maintain and add more advanced elements.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
