CCS News

DECEMBER 10, 2010

FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
Web Site – we had to add document security to our web site to be sure our documents are not shared indiscriminately. If you have questions, please contact the computer room.

BiblioCommons testing – testing for BiblioCommons has been quite active with over 100 suggestions, comments, change requests and a few bugs submitted. This is normal for a ramp-up period for a site of our size and it is good to see that everyone is evaluating the new tool. We are working with BiblioCommons to get through these just as fast as we can.

Release 3.3.1 – Tentatively we are planning on the end of January to upgrade to 3.3.1 in an overnight move. We are still planning a few last details but will keep you posted on exact times, instructions and details. This release does mean a new Java Client must be downloaded. We will NOT be moving to RevD in this move; we will stay on our old iBIstro RevC.

AUTHORITIES NEWS:
Earlier this week, CCS sent a file of 7077 bibliographic records to Marcive for authorities processing. 2163 updated records were returned as well as a file of 3472 new authority records. All records have been reloaded into our system.

IBISTRO CHANGE:
We are taking down the message on iBistro about the delivery changes. Here’s hoping we won’t need a new message next summer!
