FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
OCLC PATCH – The OCLC number format patch will be installed on the Workflows production server on the morning of Tuesday, June 4. This means Workflows, SVA and some BiblioCommons functions will be down for up to one hour between 6 am and 8 am. Please alert your early arrival staff of the planned down time. Installation of the patch should be transparent to most staff users, and no client upgrade is required. This patch will allow Workflows to accommodate OCLC’s announcement that the OCLC number may have a longer length beginning July 1. We have been testing the patch and have found no glitches.
OCLC ILL MIGRATION:
Some of our libraries are probably already tired of being nagged about the imminent OCLC transition of ILL from WorldCat to WebShare, but it is important that each library take the necessary steps by January 1. Please review the materials we’ve e-mailed out this week and earlier, register for the training the State Library is orchestrating with OCLC, take the necessary steps, and bombard JoAnne Holmes at CCS with any questions. Thanks!
CCS MEETING NEXT WEEK:
Tues., 6/4, 10:00, Prospect Heights: Circ Policy Changes workshop (you must be registered)
