ARCIS Manuals
ARCIS will be deployed on an incremental schedule during 2008 and 2009.
- It launches with the Reference Requests module, which is now available at several FRCs (see launch schedule at right).
This manual provides step-by-step instructions on how to log in, get around, and use ARCIS to submit reference requests.
