FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
UPGRADE COMPLETE – Our three step upgrade to 3.3.1 is complete. (1) The upgrade itself went well on May 23, but we noted lengthy client downloads. (2) The indexes were rebuilt on Memorial Day. (3)The refactor names report was run last Tuesday. We are grateful to Bob who watched these processes through to completion at all sorts of odd hours. Thanks for your patience with this upgrade. With SirsiDynix we are exploring ways to make the download process less time-consuming.

RUSSIAN HEADINGS – after our index rebuild we noticed some anomalies with authority headings containing a character that appears in Russian. These records have been re-indexed and all appears well now.

BIBLIOCOMMONS – BiblioCommons has added a link for our email registration page. The link is located as the last link in the bottom navigation bar. We are also seeing some progress with call number updating.

VACATIONS – Bob Barth will be on vacation the week of June 13. Willie will be on vacation the week of June 20. Linda will be at ALA June 24-27.
