FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:

COSUGI Meeting – Bob and Linda (and Richard)  will be away at the SirsiDynix national users’ meeting beginning Wednesday March 13 until Monday March 18.  We look forward to learning all sorts of “good stuff”, taking your questions with us and meeting with other vendors you are using. It is always a very productive conference for us.

Willie’s Last Day – Willie’s last day with us will be March 16. We are looking for a special person to fill this position and will begin interviews soon. If you have someone to recommend please let us know. Willie’s projects will be temporarily divided up between remaining staff. Contact Frank about BookMyne, BookMyne Plus, or Facebook. Contact Linda about Books by Mail and Director’s Station. A good way to reach us to work on issues is via the Help Desk.    

OCLC Number – OCLC will be expanding the OCLC number by one digit and adding a prefix. This will affect our bibliographic file. We are finding out more about this change and we know that a service pack will need to be installed for Workflows.  We hope to test the change in April as soon as it is released from SirsiDynix. Please stay tuned as we establish dates to install the service pack to production. We are learning more about this from SirsiDynix daily.  Naturally we will keep you informed

CCS MEETING NEXT WEEK:

Wed., 3/13, 10:00, CCS: Executive Committee
