The five registries that use the ACS computer system (Lowell, Cambridge, Worcester, Greenfield and Northampton) also form the ACS Users’ Group. We meet periodically - usually every six to eight weeks. Our biggest accomplishment thus far is agreeing to a standard set of document codes. Lowell switched to the new codes last month. The Users’ Group will meet at the Middlesex North Registry tomorrow with the main topic being electronic recording. We’ve been using the electronic recording system in a test environment for three weeks now and have a pretty good feel for how it is designed to operate. The other registers will get their first look at the system tomorrow and will have an opportunity to offer their input. Feedback from the meeting will be the topic for tomorrow’s blog entry, so if you’re interested in electronic recording, check back on Wednesday evening.
