JULY 5, 2013

FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
Closed Dates – the next big holiday is Labor Day. Be sure that your closed dates when items should not become due are correct. Please open a Wonder Desk ticket if changes are needed.

Record Locking Problems – the problems that we experienced with Workflows on Tuesday were repaired by SirsiDynix by making adjustments to our configuration. The process we call ADUTEXT, which indexes records overnight, now runs faster.

Director’s Station – as of this writing Director’s Station seems to be working well again. Earlier today (July 3) it was giving a cryptic message “Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation”.  A reboot of the system repaired the situation.

AUTHORITIES NEWS:
This week CCS loaded 2 files from Marcive. One file included 4720 updated authority records and the other included 349 new authority records that our database needed, but were not available before.
