FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
Computer Room Work - Work on the computer room racks was postponed this week. We will work with the vendor to establish a new date after Java training is complete.

Help Wanted! – We are interviewing to replace Glenn in the computer room. If you know the perfect person please have them contact Bonnie or Linda - or send a resume to hr@ccs.nsls.lib.il.us



DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know it’s possible to open more than one wizard in the Java client and view the windows side-by-side, cascaded, or top-to-bottom - much as you can with the C client? At first glance this feature doesn’t seem to be available in Java, but multiple windows display can easily be added if you follow a few simple steps to place the “Window” drop-down list on the main Java menu bar. If you want to try it, I’ve created a document that explains how to set this up and posted it to the CCS web page. Go to the Sirsi Resource Page and look for the title “Multiple windows display in Java”, under the heading Documented Procedures. (Note to users who have an earlier version of this document: The instructions just added to the CCS page have been revised to include some helpful comments from Chris Diez at Evanston.)

Also: I will be out of the office Monday through Thursday for the next two weeks (January 28-31, and February 4-7), coordinating the Sirsi Java training sessions at Northbrook. I will check my email as often as possible, but I may not be able to respond to all messages in a timely manner. And I won’t be able to write a Did You Know item for CCS News while I’m gone. But I am looking forward to seeing everyone who will be attending the Sirsi classes at Northbrook. – Ken Victorson
