FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
BiblioCommons – with help from Glenview we and BC are looking at a test of how call number information is updated in both the brief and detailed display. So far we have determined that call number updates take 24 hours on the brief screen when updating an on-order records where the call number is changed from XX(number) to a valid call number. However, call numbers added with no preliminary call number don’t seem to get updated. Stay tuned for further results and resolutions.

Normal Business – with the upgrade behind us we are working on routine tasks as well as BookMyne and an application to provide patron status information for reciprocal borrowing purposes. Also, we are insisting that all Computer Room staff take vacations which are well deserved. For vacations of any length we post schedules on the home page of WonderDesk.

AUTHORITIES NEWS:
This week, CCS loaded 2 files that were obtained from Marcive. One file contained 3473 updated authority records and the other file contained 419 authority records that were needed, but not available until now.
