FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
3.4.1.2 - Release 3.4.1.2 is performing well for us. But it is in a normal “shake down” period too, and keeps things in the Computer Room lively. Some processes running long into the morning have interfered with our normal shutdown and startup procedure (which we call Halt and Run ). Slowly we are tuning the system to eliminate such unanticipated problems.
BiblioCommons – there have been two situations identified. BC is sometimes giving the wrong edition of a title as a result, and we have seen instances of the HOLD button not displaying. Both situations have been reported.
Golden (Wonder Desk) Tickets – when sending us problem reports, specifics are like gold to us! Please be sure to send us specifically the title, OCLC#, item#, Patron bar code and Profile, Item Type and bar code, URL, email address etc. as it pertains to the question at hand. In BiblioCommons we need the URL for an errant record if you have it. Screen shots are great.
LIBRARY CLOSING:
Lake Villa will be closed to the public on Friday and Saturday, December 7 and 8, for new carpeting.
AUTHORITIES NEWS:
On Thursday, Nov. 29th, CCS sent 8507 bibliographic records to Marcive for authorities processing. 2272 bibliographic records were updated and sent back to us. They were reloaded into our system, along with 3570 new authority records.
