CCS News

NOVEMBER 18, 2011

FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
BiblioCommons – As of this writing we are anticipating a new build of BiblioCommons which will occur on Friday morning November 17. We continue to report anomalies in searching where the titles that you own may not come up in a search scoped to your library – but come up in a search of All Libraries. For those of you experiencing this please think analytically about the item that you report. Was it recently edited? Did it recently circulate, etc? All observations are good ones at this point and we might see a pattern emerge. (P.S. We heard from BiblioCommons Nov. 17 that they have re-indexed the database and are hoping this will clear up the problem, so that makes it even more important to let us know if the issue is ongoing.)

Testing Tuesdays – the network tests will continue from 6:30-8 AM on Tuesday mornings until we have a clear measure of network performance in regard to our ability to download the SirsiDynix Symphony Client efficiently.

MEMBERSHIP EVALUATION SURVEY:
As per the e-mail we sent out November 14, we hope each department of your library will complete the online survey; the link is in that e-mail. December 9 is our requested deadline; thanks! We have reduced the number of mandatory questions to make response easier for those who don’t have a lot of dealings with CCS.

NEXT WEEK:
There will be no CCS News next week due to the holiday. We wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving!
