FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM

Symphony conversion and bridge – the Symphony Conversion testing is progressing

Previous ID – at the request of Circulation Technical Group we have made a little change in workflows. When an inactive ID is scanned the system now says “User Not Found” like it did prior to our latest release.

Directors Station – as of this writing we are (finally) seeing data in the directors station. It appears that there are a few more bugs to work out – but this is significant to those of us waiting to get back to crunching data.

EPAY – to help with the problem when the patron has many fines to pay (more than 200 characters), Epay is now including a message in reports that indicates as transaction was too long - the message in the report is LINE ITEM TOO LONG.

Lexile Project progress report:

Over the next few days, bibliographic records that have been enriched with Lexile and other reading notes will be dribbling into our database. Even though you will see these enriched records in our database, you will have to wait until after the system upgrade next month to be able to search for the data itself. Stay tuned for new indexes and Power Search options that will assist you with this.

There are no meetings scheduled for the week of March 22.
