FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
New Projects – Are you considering a new project, exploring RFID or sorting solutions, looking at authentication needs? Please be sure to discuss these needs with Richard or Linda. This is important to get everyone started on the right foot, to share information, to schedule and to ensure a successful project . Many new technologies involve a significant learning curve and fact finding so the earlier we start to explore these solutions with you the better.

Rack Project – we are anticipating moving racks and some cables in the Computer Room late this Autumn. We will keep you posted on progress.

AUTHORITIES NEWS:
Earlier this week, CCS loaded 2 files that were obtained from Marcive. One file contained 1801 updated authority records and the other file contained 87 authority records that were needed, but not available until now. What does this all mean to the CCS database? An up to date database that includes all available individual death dates, current references, and subject headings.
