FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
Offline mode – we have had a few instances of down time requiring Offline lately. It is important if you are using the Symphony Offline mode that the following steps are checked. You want to be sure that transactions are going to be written to the correct file so that they will be downloaded to the main server when you come back up online.

Start Java Workflows in offline mode.
Click the ‘Offline’ wizards group in the toolbar.
Click the Offline Session under the Common Tasks group.
The last element displayed is the ‘Log:” file value.
This directory and file must be read/writable by the user that logs in to the PC. If it is not, the offline session will discard the transactions as they occur. It does *NOT* inform the user that transactions are *NOT* being spooled to the log file.

COOKING CHANGES AND OTHER AUTHORITIES NEWS:
All of the major changes concerning the subject heading change of “Cookery” to “Cooking” are finished. So from “Cookery, American” to “Cookery (Zucchini)” in our database, is now “Cooking, American” to “Cooking (Zucchini)”. There are many references to guide you to the correct form of the heading.

The main heading of “Cookery” is still in the progress of being split manually from “Cookery” to either “Cooking” or “Cookbooks”. Use “Cooking” for “works about all types of food preparation, including preparation of those foods that do not necessarily need to be heated. Works about collections of recipes are entered under Cookbooks”.

CCS also loaded a file into the system this week from Marcive with 1888 updated authority records in it. Previously, a file of 470 new authority records was loaded. Those were needed, but were not available before.
