CCS News

NOVEMBER 19, 2010

FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
Help Desk Categories – There are three new categories in the help desk. Remember to choose a category when reporting an incident. The new categories are BiblioCommons, SIP, and 3.3.1. We remind you to report the browser that you are using when reporting BiblioCommons problems. Also include screenshots or barcode information.

Computer Room Hours – The computer room will be staffed until 9 pm on November 23 and closed for Thanksgiving. We will be staffed the usual hours over the weekend.

BIBLIOCOMMONS TESTING:
We have notified everyone to commence two weeks of testing your BiblioCommons interface to see if the logo, colors, links, etc. are correct. Some aspects are still in progress, including awards and NoveList display. But you should be able to check the basics of what you sent us for configuration.

Please give us any questions and change requests by December 1 and, per Linda’s request two paragraphs above, please do so via WonderDesk and not a free-form e-mail. This helps us maintain the illusion of organization. Thanks!

PATRON COUNT COMING DECEMBER 10 FOR SYDNETICS BILLING:
On December 10 we will run a patron count in order to apportion the billing for our Syndetics OPAC content enrichment. This bill will be apportioned according to each library’s relative number of patrons. It is in your interest to run a purge if you have not done so recently, and to do any related cleanup before December 10!

CONGRATULATIONS to CCS Part Time Computer Operator Rory Warfield, who hits her 30th anniversary with CCS November 22!

NO CCS NEWS NEXT WEEK:
Because of the holiday week, there will be no CCS News next week. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
