FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
NOVELISTSELECT – we have had an interesting week with a near launch of Novelist Select and then deciding to get it back into testing so that you all can see how it interacts with iBistro. As of this writing, libraries have been exploring Novelist Select on the test server and sharing comments. Stay tuned to progress reports on the Novelist Select offering.
DAYS WHEN ITEMS ARE NOT DUE – also known as: CLOSED DATES – This list governs the assignment of due dates in the system as well as the pick list. If a library does not want items to become due, then the date must appear in the table. Libraries have different ways of handling the days when they are partially closed. The table of dates has been entered for most libraries through Jan 2011 as of this time. PLEASE CHECK your dates on the web for any inadvertent errors. Modifications to the date tables after our initial input should be requested through the Wonder Desk.
COMPUTER ROOM STAFFING – Thank you for sharing your information on early closings during holiday time. The Computer Room staff will be available until 9pm the evening before Thanksgiving to accommodate libraries open until that time. Since we polled the libraries, here are the closing times.
