NExpress Regional Library Catalog. January 6, 2017. Finding information about “Lost (overdue more than 45 days)” items for patrons.

NExpress Regional Library Catalog. October 12, 2016. When Paola Free Library joined NExpress, there was a problem importing their Accelerated Reader data from their old ILS into Koha.
