CCS News
NOVEMBER 9, 2007
FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
Closed dates – We have begun the cleanup of the old closed dates. Dates for 2006 are being removed and this will be completed by the end of next week. When you are ready to send new dates for 2008 send the list in mm/dd/yyyy format separated by commas without spaces.
Thanksgiving – it is not too early to remind you that the Computer Room will be closed on Thanksgiving Day. All of our regular jobs will run on schedule, with the customary delay in printed notices and bills due to the van delivery schedule.
Don’t forget to use the WonderDesk – This is a good time to remind you that we love to get your emails but we can track your special requests so much better if you open an incident in the Wonderdesk.
DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know that a heavily edited version of the Release Notes for Patch Cluster 5A-D is now available on the CCS web page? I’ve distilled the 154 page document from Sirsi down to a manageable 21 pages that can be used for our Patch Cluster testing project. (This was the topic of last week’s Did You Know item.) The document is sorted by topics/areas to be tested and they include: General corrections, Staff Client corrections & enhancements, Item Search & Display enhancements, Acquisitions corrections & enhancements, Cataloging corrections & enhancements, Circulation corrections & enhancements, e-Library (iBistro) corrections & enhancements, Serials Control corrections & enhancements, SIP2 corrections & enhancements, and Standalone/Offline enhancements.
If you missed last week’s CCS News item, I asked for volunteers familiar with Java to help test the new patch cluster on the test server. In addition to sending materials directly to each tester I’m also posting documents related to this project on the CCS web page. During the next week or so, you’ll also find documents explaining how to access the test server, and how to upgrade the Java client on the CCS web page. You can find the document titled “Patch Cluster 5A-D Release Notes” on the CCS web page, in the Sirsi Resources link, under the General Bulletins heading. Ken Victorson
