CCS News October 25, 2013

FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
SMS Notification - In the coming weeks we will be talking with a Sirsi Technical Advisor about the steps necessary to bring SMS Patron Self-Registration to your patrons.  At the Webmasters Meeting on October 30th, we will present an overview of the SMS Patron Self-Registration process and look for input from the group.  The testing of SMS Notification is going well.  Currently two libraries are in the testing stage.  If your library would like to participate in the testing, please contact Frank (after November 1).

Network Changes - The network changes performed last Sunday went as planned.  Thank you for your cooperation.

Staff Absence - Frank will be out of the office Monday, October 28 and will return to the office on Friday, November 1.  Please use the Help Desk or call the Computer Room.  Please do not leave a message on Frank's voice mail.

AUTHORITIES NEWS:
Two files from Marcive were loaded into our system this week.  One contained 2,476 updated authority records and the other contained 360 new authority records that were needed in our database, but were not available before this time.
