CCS News
SEPTEMBER 3, 2010
FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
Certified vendors - We have asked SirsiDynix to restore the list of certified vendors and products to their web site so that we can all keep informed. At the moment we have six projects in the works involving SIP (and one more potential in the wings) so we know that this is becoming an ever important method for system interoperation.
BiblioCommons – in the next week we will be testing BiblioCommons against the production server. This is an important step and brings us ever closer to a full implementation sometime in the next few months.
Director’s Station – if you are interested in further training for staff, please contact Linda. We reserve the first Wednesday morning of each month for training by Willie. How about a few minutes of refresher, working through a few key reports, or basic survival tactics? Contact Linda and we’ll see if you can come out for some informal one-on-one “ lunch and learn” time.
Indexes – as of this writing we are talking to SirsiDynix regarding building of indexes. Sirsi wants us to rebuild indexes to repair problems with the bibliographic files. It is likely that we will have iBistro down from 9:15 Sunday until 9:30 Monday morning over the Labor Day holiday.
Staffing – the Computer Room will be staffed on Sunday 9/5 during normal hours. We will be closed on Labor Day.

BONNIE’S BACK AND ROGER’S ON TRACK!
CCS is delighted that Bonnie Owens is back on the job, albeit with a procedure and a few appointments remaining. And Roger Anderson has started his projected two weeks of rehab; so far all seems to be according to expectations. He’s still targeting the October 6 Catalogers meeting for his return.
HAPPY HOLIDAY WEEKEND TO ALL FROM THE CCS STAFF!
