FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
SonicWall Training - Glenn is on a training course this week to learn more about our SonicWall Firewall.

Printed reports - As of this week the following printouts are no longer being created for van delivery: open holds pick list, search shelves,selfcheck stats. You can print these locally. We have had no calls or complaints so far – so it looks like everyone was ready to implement the change. Over the next two weeks we will stop printing the rest of the reports – but will continue to print all bills and notices.


DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know that Glenview has requested two special CCS Get Acquainted Tours for their staff on Thursday, November 1 and Friday, November 2, 2007? These ad hoc sessions will be conducted during the morning and afternoon of consecutive days, instead of back-to-back on the same day as is our usual practice. There will be one session from 10:00 – 11:30AM on the morning of November 1st and a second on the afternoon of November 2nd from 2:00 - 3:30 PM. (So there will NOT be tours during the afternoon of November 1, or the morning of November 2.) We have room for other libraries to participate in either of these November tours if your staff can arrange to attend on those particular days. Please call me on: 847-666-3204 or email me at kenv@ccs.nsls.lib.il.us to sign someone up for either of the two visits. Let me know the name(s) of the attendees and the date and time they’ll be coming.

Also: In addition to the occasional ad hoc sessions (like the ones for Glenview), I will continue my normal practice of scheduling CCS Tours in advance and posting the date and time so everyone will know when they’re being offered. But if you or members of your staff would like to visit CCS and the available dates are not compatible with your calendar, please contact me about arranging a special visit for your library. The tours are open to anyone in the CCS community that’s interested in learning about the history and organizational structure of CCS, would like to meet our fulltime staff and find out what they do, or would like to see our work environment - including individual offices and the computer room.
