FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
Mid-Day Pick list: The cause is not yet known why the Mid-Day Pick List fails every so often, but one possibility is that libraries who use the On-Demand Pick List Wizard are accessing it while the Mid-Day is running.
We are asking that libraries who use the On-Demand Pick List Wizard refrain from accessing it between 12:30 and 1:15 in the afternoon.

Weeding of Reports:
We will be weeding out some reports in the upcoming weeks. Bob will contact the libraries before any weeding process begins to make sure the reports that will be affected will be OK to remove. It’s part of our normal housekeeping of the server which we often do from time to time. More to come in the coming weeks.

Computer Room renovation:
In the coming weeks we will be remodeling our Server Room, and Computer Room area. Please be sure to use the CCS Help Desk so we don’t miss anything in case we are away from our work areas.

BiblioCommons:
A release went through this week that now fixes the bug that was preventing libraries from featuring only CCS user-generated content content on the Recent Activity page.

If you look at Lake Villa's page now, you'll see that only CCS reviews, lists, ratings, etc...are displayed and promoted: http://lakevilla.bibliocommons.com/dashboard/index

We encourage all libraries to promote the CCS content on this page rather than all the BiblioCommons content.

Network Maintenance:
Reminder, on Sunday October 20th from 8:30 to 9:00 A.M., the system will be offline in order that we can replace a network switch here at CCS HQ.  Both SVA and Workflows will be offline during this time. Patrons will be able to search BiblioCommons but some functions will be limited as Login, Place Holds and My Account will not be accessible. We will put up the customary message prior to the event.       

LIBRARY CLOSING:
Glencoe will be closed Friday, October 11 for an In-Service Day.   

CCS MEETINGS NEXT WEEK:

None!
