FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
Construction Delayed:
The start of our construction has hit a small delay. Since the plans for the raised floor in the computer room have changed, a new set of drawings has to be submitted to the village. Our demolition of the computer room staff area looks like it might not start for a week or two. Meanwhile, the computer staff is doing fine, in tight quarters.  We will keep everyone posted about the project schedule and status.

New IT Systems Manager:
Linda Zaleski’s replacement Jonathan Padilla will make his debut at CCS on Monday November 18. Staff has started to prepare for his arrival, and we hope he does not mind the dust and noise when construction is full gear.  He will have the same telephone number and extension as Linda did (847-666-3213 direct dial, or 847-342-5300 x213), and will send out other contact information next week.
           
Password Change Reminder:
The CCSLIB.org website will be changing logins and passwords to the website, in order to consolidate to a single password with acceptable security. A short memo was sent out to the Maintenance Coordinators and Administrators. Please follow up to make sure that a contact for your library has been assigned and contact Frank Correa with any questions or concerns..

Test Server Offline Nov. 20:
The test server will be offline on Wednesday 11/20 for maintenance. The memory error patch is scheduled to be installed by Sirsi on that day.

Test Server Offline As Of Nov. 24:
The test server will be offline beginning 11/24 for several weeks, during the construction.  The electrician needs to move the Test Server’s power receptacle.  This circuit is one to be turned off on Sunday 11/24. We don’t have a timetable yet on when the new power receptacle will be ready.

Assumed Lost Companion Report:
Some libraries have opened a Wonderdesk ticket in response to our recent email.  The libraries that have not yet opened a ticket are: DPK, EAK, EVK, GVK, HPK, NBK, RLK, ZIK.  Please contact Bob Barth for more information.
