  • The Hawaii State Public Library System (HSPLS) Continues Upgrade of Internet PC Reservations: Six more Oahu Libraries Start Week of May 13

The Hawaii State Public Library System (HSPLS) will perform an upgrade to its Smart Access Management (SAM) Internet reservation system in six Oahu public libraries beginning Monday, May 13 through Friday, May 17. The computers at the following Oahu libraries: Wahiawa, Waikiki-Kapahulu, Salt Lake-Moanalua, Manoa, Waipahu, and Kaimuki will be unavailable for reservations from this week through the completion of the upgrade in each library. Walk-up sessions may or may not be available, depending on the progress of the upgrade.

SAM is a computer-based system that allows users to reserve and register for Internet sessions in HSPLS's 50 public libraries; it helps HSPLS maximize the use of public Internet computers and ensures equal access for our patrons.

The upgrade is necessary to stabilize the SAM Internet reservation system and make it fully compatible with the Windows 7 operating systems in the recently installed public computers. To lessen the impact on library patrons, the upgrade is being scheduled during a traditionally slow period of the year and as much as possible on days when the libraries are scheduled to be closed.

The statewide upgrade implementation began April 8 and computers at Maui, Kauai, Big Island, and some Oahu public libraries have been upgraded.

During the implementation on Oahu, there will be a brief period when reservations will be suspended. Progress of the implementation will be posted on HSPLS's website (www.librarieshawaii.org). In addition, signs will be posted on library computers alerting patrons of the upcoming upgrade about a week in advance.

In 2012, HSPLS recorded an amazing 600,855 Internet sessions in our 50 libraries statewide. The SAM Internet reservation system enhances customer privacy and expedites the reservation and registration process.

The SAM Internet reservation system is funded by the federal Library Services and Technology Act, which is administered by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The recently installed public computers were provided by Hawaii's Access for All Grant through the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program, funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and leveraged with Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Opportunity Online funds. Matching funds were provided by the Friends of the Library of Hawaii, the Omidyar Ohana Fund through the Hawaii Community Foundation, and Alexander & Baldwin Foundation.
