JULY 25, 2014
FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
Server Upgrade:
We plan to migrate over to our new Production Server overnight, between Tuesday, August 12th and Wednesday, August 13th. We expect the new Production Server to be live the morning of August 13th, prior to library operating hours, and anticipate no down time during this process.
Symphony Upgrade:
We will install the Symphony 3.4.1 SP5 upgrade between the end of business on Monday, August 18th and Tuesday, August 19th. We anticipate a couple of hours early Tuesday morning before anyone opens to load this, but will provide more detail between now and then. A client upgrade will be necessary; the usual info about that will follow.
AS A REMINDER, PLEASE HAVE YOUR STAFF TEST SP5 SO WE CAN VERIFY THAT THINGS WORK AS NEEDED. THE SAME FUNCTIONALITY WE WERE EXPECTING TO LOAD IN SP3-4 IS WHAT SHOULD BE TESTED.
CCS Website Password Change:
In keeping with our policy of changing our web site password every four months, the next ccslib.org Members Only page password change will be effective on Friday, August 1, 2014. The password will be generated with a Random Password Generator, and will be eight characters in length containing at least one special character, one numerical character and one uppercase character. Example only: l1bRary!
An email will be sent to shelp-l informing everyone that they may obtain the new password from their designated contact, Director or Maintenance Coordinator as of Thursday, July 31.
Again, the password change will not affect your login into Workflows or to the SirsiDynix Support Site.
A reminder of the password change will be sent again Thursday, July 31, 2014. We will send out the new password that day to the groups mentioned two paragraphs above.
CCS Help Desk Searching:
Search capabilities have been added to the Help Desk for the libraries. The link can be found under the Help Desk tab. Clicking on it will bring you to the search page where you can input a variety of criteria to scan your library’s tickets, both open and closed. If you have any questions on using it, please contact Jim O’Day or Frank Correa.
Listserv Change Requests:
As a reminder, please use the CCS Wonder Desk ticketing system when requesting an addition, change or removal from any of our mailing lists.
Library Closing:
Prospect Heights PL will be closed for a building project on Saturday, August 2nd through Sunday, August 10th. They will not be filling holds starting on July 25th through August 13th.
Boopsie Smart Search:
We are working with Boopsie to implement a regularly scheduled upload of our bib data. This will enable the Boopsie smart prefix search technology, which predicts as you type in the search field, based on our data. This feature will not be available until we make the switch over to Enterprise.
CCS MEETINGS NEXT WEEK:
None! Savor it...
