CCS News APRIL 27, 2012 FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM: COSUGI conference: Bob and Linda will be travelling to the COGUGI conference (along with Richard, Roger and Joel) May 2-6. If you can anticipate any important items needing our attention it would be best if we can act on these early in the coming week or after we return. Naturally, Frank and Willie will be on hand to manage activities in the computer room during that time. Google Analytics and Bibliocommons: As promised at the last PAS meeting we now provide a method to analyze your BiblioCommons data being saved by Google. Since April 2011 Google has saved up roughly 10,000,000 Bibliocommons URLs for our libraries (10 million system-wide), which we have downloaded and analyzed. " ViewPoints for Bibliocommons and Google Analytics " is a new link on the CCS Reports Web Page in the report group "Online Catalog Statistics". This link takes you to the tool that reveals some of the results, in report form. Within the tool the toolbar button "Reports" will show you those reports that are currently available. The tool has been branded and contains results for just your library as well as system-wide results. AUTHORITIES NEWS: Last week, on Thursday, April 19th, CCS sent a group of bibliographic records to Marcive for authorities processing – 8721 bibliographic records were sent, and Marcive returned 2394 updated ones, as well as 4178 new authority records. Both the bibliographic records and the new authority records have been loaded into our system. This week, CCS loaded two more files that were obtained from Marcive. One contained 2023 updated authority records and the other contained 410 new authority records. The updated authority records contain heading changes, new death dates, and other information that will keep our database as up to date as possible. The 410 were authority records that were needed in our database, but were not available before this time. Virginia R. Seward CCS Authorities Librarian NO CCS NEWS NEXT WEEK: Due to staff absences (per the first news item above), there will be no issue of this bulletin next week.
